# SafeKey as Secure Storage Device for Encrypted Data

## SafeKey Pro

{% hint style="success" %}
SafeKey Pro is a **plug and play device**, you can start using it right away, without any additional software or drivers.
{% endhint %}

To use your **SafeKey Pro as a storage device for encrypted backups and inheritance plans** of [inheriti.com](/tools/inheriti.md) (which is impossible with a SafeKey One), you need to **additionally protect your SafeKey with a** [**PIN code**](/user-guides/pin-code-management.md). This can be done via the [SafeKey Desktop Tool](/tools/safekey-desktop-tool.md).

Another way to do it is to plug in your SafeKey Pro to your computer when asked by [Inheriti®](/tools/inheriti.md). This will happen during the configuration of a backup or inheritance plan that you want to store on your device.

If no PIN code has been set to the used SafeKey earlier, you’ll be able to set it at this point.

## SafeKey Mobile

**SafeKey Mobile** offers a convenient and secure option to store encrypted shares of your protection plans created via **Inheriti®**, directly on your mobile device. Unlike **SafeKey Pro**, which requires a physical connection to your computer, **SafeKey Mobile** allows you to manage your shares through the **SafeKey Mobile** app, without the need for any external hardware.

Once you’ve downloaded the app and connected it to your **SafeID** account, you can use **SafeKey Mobile** to claim and store your encrypted shares during the configuration of your backup or inheritance plans. There’s no need for additional software or drivers, and all data is further protected with your **SafeID** login credentials and a unique **PIN code** set up within the app.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.safekey.be/getting-started/first-time-using-your-safekey/safekey-as-secure-storage-device-for-encrypted-data.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
