What a key is
Every chat room has a random 6 character key. Anyone who types that key in the chats page can join the room. There are no accounts required to join, only the key.
Sharing a key
Send the key to the people you want in the room. They open vaults.lol/chats, paste the key, and they are in. Do not paste the key on a public profile, in a public Discord, or in your bio if you want the room to stay private.
Revoking a room
Delete the room from your dashboard. The key stops working immediately and anyone connected is disconnected.
