Your credentials stay encrypted and secure at every step
Your password is encrypted with AWS KMS before it touches our database. The encryption key lives in Amazon's hardware security modules — never on this server.
A background scheduler checks daily for accounts due for login. It decrypts your credentials only at login time, drives a headless Chrome browser through VT's SSO + Duo 2FA, then discards the plaintext.
Get an email, text, or calendar reminder before each login so you're ready to enter your Duo verification code. Toggle notifications on or off from your dashboard.

Text messages, when enabled, are sent only by VT Email Saver. They are not sent by Virginia Tech or any other organization. SMS is optional and requires an explicit consent checkbox. View SMS notification details.
