Install Veil

Free for personal use. Teams add join codes, tokens, and policy sync.

Use Microsoft Edge for the Edge Add-ons link (Chrome cannot install Edge extensions). Search Veil by Goldspire on Chrome if needed.

Personal use

  1. Install from the store button above.
  2. Open Veil → choose Personal → set a passphrase (16+ characters).
  3. Paste or highlight secrets in Gmail, Outlook, or forms — use Secure or the Veil copilot.

Team members

  1. Install Veil from the store or your IT catalog.
  2. Open the popup → Team → enter join code and work email → Connect.
  3. Cloud teams: passphrase syncs on join — refresh Outlook or Gmail. Self-hosted: use the passphrase your admin shares.
  4. Veil copilot catches secrets on paste; stays quiet on signup forms.

Recipients without Veil

When you secure a message for someone outside your org, Veil can embed a link to the hosted unlock page. They enter the passphrase you shared out of band — decryption runs in their browser; nothing is uploaded.
