We make 2FA boring on purpose.
Kaito is a small, focused team building the shared-secrets layer we wished existed at every company we worked at before.
The story
Every company we've worked at had the same broken pattern: shared 2FA codes traded over Slack, a phone in someone's drawer, a password manager note that drifted out of date the day it was written. We tried to fix it from the inside more than once, and every time it ended up as a side project that nobody owned.
Kaito is the side project, taken seriously. A focused product for the narrow problem we kept hitting: shared TOTP codes and shared SMS inboxes, with the controls a security team needs and the surface a developer can actually use.
We're not trying to be a password manager. We're not trying to be a PAM. We sit underneath those tools and solve the human-in-the-loop 2FA case nobody else takes seriously.
How we work
- We ship often and write down what changed. The changelog is public.
- We read every email to security@kaito.io and aim to respond within a business day. No formal SLA during private beta — that comes with GA.
- We don't sell or share customer data. Full stop.
- We pay our telecom bills before we pay ourselves.
- Beta customers get a direct line to the founding team.
A small team. No mascot.
We'll add real names and faces here when the team has more than a handful of people. Until then: it's a founding team of operators with backgrounds in security engineering, telecom, and developer tooling.
