History

[edit]

Myki Security was founded in 2015 by Antoine Vincent Jebara and Priscilla Elora Sharuk.[6][7][8][9]

Myki launched its product in a private beta in September 2016.[10][11]

In 2016, Myki was the first MENA-based company selected to compete in TechCrunch Disrupt Battlefield in San Francisco, California.[12]

In January 2017, Myki raised $1.2 million from BECO Capital in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Leap Ventures and B&Y Venture Partners in Beirut, Lebanon.[13][14][15]

Myki was named one of the Best Password Managers of 2018 globally by PC Magazine.[1]

In 2019, Myki added a secure password-sharing feature, allowing users to share sensitive login credentials securely with trusted individuals, further differentiating it from other password managers in the market.[16]

End of support

[edit]

On 24 February 2022, it was reported that Jump Cloud, an American enterprise software company from Louisville, Colorado, acquired Myki Security.[17][18]

In March 2022, Myki announced the discontinuation of all products by 10 April 2022, pushing a support library to help users to export their data from Myki before that day.[18]
