Yes — they are the same.
We renamed the Emergency Access Kit to Emergency Exit Kit as part of our effort to better reflect its purpose and align with other recovery-related terminology in the app.
This name change went live with Bitkey app release 2025.10.0. When you open the app on version 2025.10.0 or later, the migration happens automatically. Once the Emergency Exit Kit is successfully created, the Emergency Access Kit is deleted. From your perspective, this change is seamless — both actions happen at the same time.
What changed?
- Name: Emergency Access Kit → Emergency Exit Kit
- Creation date: A new creation date is shown for the Emergency Exit Kit
- File name: The name of the PDF file also changes to reflect the new Emergency Exit Kit name
There’s no action required from you — your emergency kit is still valid and functions the same way. It just has a new name going forward.
