KeyportID: The Ultimate Lost & Found Solution for Your Keyport & All Your Everyday Carry

KeyportID Lost and Found

The Problem - Where Are My Keys? I Lost My Keys!

There is nothing worse than coming to the realization that you have lost your keys. First, you do the lost keys Macarena.Then you run around your house pulling apart freshly made beds, scaling shelves, and diving under couches and chairs yelling, “Where are my keys? I can’t find my keys! I lost my #@*! keys!” It’s like an impromptu cardio session you never asked for. You're late for a meeting with an important client which you are now going to have to cancel. And that is just the beginning! Compound that frustration with paying for the privilege of waiting hours for a locksmith to re-key your house or apartment, and the cherry on top is replacing that very expensive auto key fob. But wait, you just have a Honda you say? Well, the cost of replacing a simple 2009 Honda Pilot fob can be upwards of $300. By then, your day isn’t just ruined - it’s been thoroughly pulverized into a fine powder of exasperation and despair.

Every year, millions of keys and other valuables attached to conventional keychains are lost, and because they have no identifying information on them (for good reason), they stand little chance of ever being recovered by their owners.

Keyport is helping to change that with KeyportID, an exclusive lost and found service for keys and all your everyday carry items.

Our Solution - KeyportID Lost and Found Key Tags and Stickers

To solve the single biggest problem associated with keys and other daily carry items… losing them, Keyport was the first company to develop an incentivized lost and found program that assists its customers in the recovery of lost key organizer devices. Over the years, we have assisted in the recovery of hundreds of Keyports, saving our customers the pain and high cost of having to rekey locks, get exorbitantly expensive new vehicle remotes programmed, and re-purchase all of the other items they had previously attached to their bulky keychains like multi-tools, bottle openers, USB flash drives, mini-lights, RFID access fobs, security tokens, etc.

Since then, we’ve upgraded our lost and found program by partnering with our friends at Keyfetch to create KeyportID, an exclusive online lost and found recovery service that utilizes a unique serial number along with proprietary messaging technology to connect owners and finders directly and anonymously at a click… no middle man, no number to call. The patented messaging technology we use does not disclose any personal information about the owner or the finder. We (meaning Keyport) do ask for the finder’s email in order to coordinate their thank you reward once the finder has recovered his or her property, but that stays entirely between us. This incentivized direct connect between owner and finder significantly reduces the time it takes to recover your misplaced items.

KeyportID - Exclusive Lost and Found for Keyport Key Organizers

Often referred to as "the keychain to not lose keys", every Keyport Pivot and Slide key organizer comes equipped with a lost and found key tag, a unique serial number that acts as its KeyportID. The Keyport key organizers also include a discrete "Reward if Found" inscription on the chassis.

It is important to note that you need to register your Keyport at keyportid.com. Once registered, if your Keyport key organizer keychain gets lost, anyone who finds it can contact you directly through the KeyportID interface (anonymously on both sides) to coordinate its quick and safe return. This method ensures swift recovery without compromising privacy. Oftentimes, Keyport owners are notified before they even know their Keyport is missing. Keyport even offers a small reward to thank the finder on our customer's behalf.

Today, every Keyport key organizer comes with a FREE two-year subscription to our exclusive KeyportID lost & found service.

KeyportID EDC - Finder Tag Stickers for All Your Everyday Carry

In addition to protecting our customers' key organizers with KeyportID, we have expanded the KeyportID lost and found program to cover virtually ALL of your everyday carry items using lost and found labels. Introducing KeyportID EDC, a set of four super durable KeyportID lost and found stickers you can add to pretty much any everyday carry or other personal item that has the potential to get lost or stolen - cell phone, tablet, computer, charger, tools, wallet, backpack, bike, tennis racket, golf clubs, and so much more. You simply register your sticker set on keyportid.com and add one of the four heavy duty KeyportID EDC finder stickers to each of your favorite personal items.

KeyportID Sticker Set

KeyportID EDC finder tag stickers are strong and water resistant, but we do not recommend adding them to items that are constantly getting wet like a dishwasher safe mug or a surfboard. Other than that, they will protect your favorite EDC for quite a long time.

KeyportID Stickers

KeyportID EDC lost and found stickers utilize the same exclusive, patented lost and found technology that connects owners and finders directly and anonymously at a click…no middle man, no number to call. Good samaritans will do the rest.

Why KeyportID is a Lost & Found Game-Changer

KeyportID is very different than a Bluetooth key finder in that KeyportID keychain id tags come laser engraved on your Keyport key organizer or on heavy duty stickers for KeyportID EDC, and it works anywhere, anytime. Because KeyportID is not electronic, it doesn't require WiFi, Bluetooth connectivity, or a mesh network, and it won't drain your phone's battery.

KeyportID lost & found for your keys is much less expensive than a traditional Bluetooth fob locator since the first two years are free, and the cost is only $4.99 for each year thereafter. Compare that to the cost of Bluetooth key finder products or the cost of replacing all your keys and re-keying your locks if you ever lose your keys. Typical Bluetooth key finders cost approximately $25 each while Apple Air Tags are $29 each. This doesn't include replacement batteries which are an additional cost. Replacing your keys can be very expensive as a locksmith truck roll is at least $150, and we have heard of re-keys as high as $500 depending upon the complexity of the job. This doesn't include your auto fob, which can be anywhere from $150 - $500 by itself. For example, a 2009 Honda Pilot key is about $300 to replace at the dealership.

KeyportID finder tags are also very cost effective at 4 finder stickers for only $7.99 per year. That equates to protecting each of your four devices for around the cost of a soda.

Find Your Keys with KeyportID Lost and Found Service

Here is one example of a Keyport Lost & Found success story. A friend of a Keyport employee texted him and said  he may have lost his Keyport in a San Diego cab. Two hours later a cab driver called our customer support line saying he found a Keyport in his cab. Within ten minutes of his call, the Keyport was returned! The proud Keyport owner was so happy, he made this graphic for us.

KeyportID Success Story

Now, EVERY Pivot and every Slide comes with a FREE two year subscription to KeyportID. We also offer a Reward if Found as an added incentive to those who find and help reunite our customers with their lost items.

Unlike other key finder services such as Boomerang Tag, you will not have to wait up to a week with the hope of receiving your keys back in the mail. At that point, getting your keys back is not much value because you will have already had to spend the time and money to replace your keys and all the rest of the items on your keychain.

How KeyportID Works

As soon as you get your Keyport Pivot or Slide 3.0, the first thing you do even before showing it off to friends and family is to register it with KeyportID. We cannot stress how important this is. If you do not register your serial number with KeyportID, there is no way for a finder to get in touch with you.

Step 1 - Find Your KeyportID Serial Number

For Keyport Pivot owners, you can find your serial number on the inside of your Pivot's chassis. The serial number acts as your KeyportID.

For Keyport Slide owners, you can find your serial number on the exterior of your Slide's chassis.

For KeyportID EDC, your KeyportID number is listed right on the stickers.

Step 2 - Register Your KeyportID Serial Number on KeyportID.com

This step is critical. You must register your serial number in order to tie it to your KeyportID account. KeyportID will not work if the serial number is not connected to your KeyportID account.

Activating your ID is simple. Visit https://www.mykeyport.com/id to set up your account and to activate your KeyportID. You can activate multiple KeyportIDs on one account. type in your Keyport serial number into the ACTIVATE ID tab and click ACTIVATE NOW.

KeyportID Registration

A couple of quick and easy questions later, and you are all set. That’s it.

Please note that your KeyportID account is separate from your Keyport account in the Keyport Online Store.

Step 3 - Enjoy Peace of Mind

Relax… You’re Protected. If you just registered the KeyportID keychain tag for your Slide or Pivot, then sit back and relax. You're all set. That's it. Try not to misplace your Keyport :)

For those of you with KeyportID EDC, add the finder stickers to your four favorite EDC Items, and you, too, are all set.

 

What Happens If I Lose My Keyport or One of My EDC Items?

Now, if you misplace your Keyport or EDC item you have tagged with a KeyportID EDC sticker and think that you may have left it somewhere outside the home, you simply log into your KeyportID account (login in the upper right hand corner) and report your Keyport lost at the click of a button. You can even leave a message for the Finder like this:

If you are reading this...

When someone finds your lost Keyport, they will be able to contact you directly and anonymously via the KeyportID website. You will be able to have a private conversation to facilitate the safe return of your Keyport.

KeyportID Messages

Along with your undying gratitude, you can provide the Finder with a reward like a Keyport gift certificate, which we are happy to coordinate for you. In addition, the Finder also receives a little thank you from us for taking care of our customer, for being a good samaritan, and for generally making the world a better place.

There is simply no faster, smarter, or easier way to protect your Keyport than by taking advantage of the FREE two year subscription to KeyportID lost and found recovery service. Don't worry, once your two years are up, the annual subscription to keep your service current (which we highly recommend) is only $4.99, the equivalent cost of one Keyport key Blade. Just ask anyone who has ever gone through the pain of losing their keys and having to replace them whether or not it is worth it.

KeyportID Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Please find below a few of our most popular KeyportID frequently asked questions (FAQs). For an updated list of KeyportID FAQs, please visit the bottom of our KeyportID and KeyportID EDC Lost and Found Service page at or check out our Keyport Lost and Found FAQs.

Why is KeyportID lost & found so valuable?

Over the years, we have assisted in the recovery of hundreds of Keyports, saving our customers the pain and high cost of having to rekey locks, purchase expensive new key fobs, and purchase all of the other items they had previously attached to their bulky keychains. If you lose your traditional keychain without KeyportID and without any identifying information, the chances of getting your keys back in a timely manner... or at all for that matter... are very slim. KeyportID laser engraved lost and found key tags significantly increases that probability without giving away your anonymity. Similarly, KeyportID EDC finder stickers give your personal items a chance of being recovered if you ever misplace them. Unlike other key finder services such as Boomerang Tag, you will not have to wait up to a week with the hope of receiving your keys back in the mail, which is not much value because at that point, you will have already had to spend the time and money to replace your keys and all the rest of the items on your keychain. Unlike Bluetooth, KeyportID is not electronic, so it works anywhere, anytime. It doesn't require wifi, Bluetooth connectivity, or a mesh network, and it won't drain your phone's battery. Compare that to the cost of a Bluetooth tracker... or the cost of replacing all your keys and re-keying your locks if you ever lose your keychain. Losing your keys could easily cost $500!

Does KeyportID come pre-registered with the purchase of a Pivot or Slide?

No, we are unable to register your Keyport for you. So, it is your responsibility to register your Keyport at KeyportID.com. If you do not register your Keyport with KeyportID and someone finds it, he or she will have no way of contacting you to return it.

What separates KeyportID from other key finder services?

Powered by Keyfetch, KeyportID lost & found service uses patented messaging technology to connect owners and finders directly and anonymously. So, with KeyportID finder tags, there is no middleman or time wasted shipping the keys in the mail to a lost & found box.

How is KeyportID anonymous?

KeyportID utilizes a patented messaging technology that does not disclose any personal information about the owner or the finder. We (meaning Keyport) do ask for the finder’s email in order to coordinate their thank you reward once the finder has recovered his or her property, but that stays entirely between us

Are KeyportID EDC stickers waterproof?

KeyportID EDC finder tag stickers are strong and water resistant, but we do not recommend adding them to items that are constantly getting wet like a dishwasher safe mug or a surfboard. Other than that, they will protect your favorite EDC for quite a long time.

How much does KeyportID cost?

KeyportID for the Pivot and Slide is FREE for the first two years. Make sure to take advantage of that as it is a huge benefit that Keyport key organizers have over ALL other keychains, key organizers, key holders, and key cases. Don't worry, once your two years are up, the annual subscription to keep your KeyportID service current (which we highly recommend) can then be renewed annually for just $4.99, less than the cost of one Starbucks coffee per year. We do offer a discount for multiple years. Compare that to the cost of a Bluetooth tracker... or the cost of replacing all your keys, including that very expensive auto fob, and then re-keying all your locks if you ever lose your keychain. KeyportID EDC costs just $7.99 for one year and covers 4 items with the same number, less than the price of one Dunkin Donuts coffee for each item covered. We offer a discount for multiple years on this as well.

What is the reward for the finder?

Once the owner has successfully received his or her property back, we provide the finder with a Keyport gift card that is typically enough to get themselves a Keyport. The amount does fluctuate as the owner has the option to provide an additional reward on top of the amount Keyport provides.
