Lockr is the first key management service for WordPress.

More and more plugins are leveraging 3rd party APIs. To securely access these APIs, a token, secret key, or password is necessary. Until now, these highly sensitive secrets were stored right in your database. We’ve seen a major need to secure sensitive data and communications by removing these API keys from your database, encrypting them, and storing safely in an offsite key vault. This limits the damage that could be done if your site is compromised or a developer has a local copy of your database. Lockr makes key management easy. Just install the plugin for WordPress, configure your account and begin securely storing your keys. Lockr provides patches for the major plugins used by hundreds of thousands of sites and with WP-CLI a single command will make sure your plugins use Lockr.

Additionally, Lockr provides a simple to use yet strong AES-256 encryption function, ensuring your data is encrypted according to industry best-practices and securely stored. Using Lockr helps keep the developer safe, by removing the sensitive passwords and key secrets from the code and database, following security best practices should a site be compromised.

Is Lockr Safe?

Lockr can secure any API key, secret key, and other types of credentials. Once enabled in WordPress, keys entered are encrypted, then sent over to the Lockr system and removed from the code repository and database. This encryption teamed with hosting provider based authentication prevents your key from being used outside your website. Lockr also manages keys on a “per environment” basis which helps eliminate the potential of keys being shared from production to development environments. No longer will you have to worry about sending a notification from development to your production users, or having production data decrypted in development environments.

Leveraging proven enterprise-grade key management technology from Townsend Security, Lockr’s offsite key management delivers best-practice security to protect against critical vulnerabilities and help sites meet PCI DSS, HIPAA and other security requirements and regulations.

This plugin is designed, written and maintained by experts in security, to the end user it is easy to use and understand. Let Lockr handle the difficult part of securing your site, so you can focus on delivering the best experience possible to your users.
