Abstract: In one embodiment, an indication of a number of beneficiaries that are to be granted access to a user account may be received via a graphical user interface. A plurality of sub-keys may be generated according to the number of beneficiaries such that the sub-keys together generate a master key associated with the user account. The master key and/or the plurality of sub-keys may be stored in association with the user account. The plurality of sub-keys may be provided to the beneficiaries or may be provided for distribution to the beneficiaries. A plurality of keys may be received. It may be verified that the plurality of keys, when combined, generate the master key associated with the user account. Access to the user account may be granted based, at least in part, on a result of verifying that the plurality of keys, when combined, generate the master key.
