How CheapSubs encrypts credentials
End-to-end encryption explained in plain English.
We take credential security seriously. Here's exactly how we protect your account information.
Storage at rest
All credentials — usernames, passwords, account emails — are stored encrypted in our database using AES-256. The encryption key is managed separately from the database and rotated periodically.
In transit
Every connection between your browser and our servers uses TLS 1.3. Credentials are never sent over unencrypted connections.
Access controls
Credentials are only decrypted at the moment they're delivered to the buyer. Our admin team can mark an order as fulfilled without seeing the raw password in plain text in most flows.
What we recommend
Our guarantee
If a delivered credential doesn't work, we'll replace it within 24 hours or issue a full refund — no questions asked.
