===Providing Master Key To The FBI===
On August 30th, 2023 Liberty Safe was contacted by the FBI, asking for a code to access an individual's safe. The FBI provided a warrant, however there was no mention of a subpoena. <ref> [https://x.com/libertysafeinc/status/1699245595867971969 Official statement] by Liberty Safe from their X (formerly Twitter) account. </ref> Liberty Safe provided the FBI with a 'Master Code' which allowed them to open the safe. When information of this became public, the firearms community voiced their criticisms, and one customer even cancelled their order. <ref> [https://www.scnr.com/article/liberty-safe-cites-company-protocol-on-decision-to-provide-fbi-with-access-code_f8620a4a4cc311ee9f19b07b25f8c291 Liberty safe cites company protocol on decision to provide FBI with access code.] </ref>

===Outcome===
After significant backlash, Liberty Safe made a post on X (formerly Twitter) on September 6th, 2023, announcing policy changes that now require a subpoena before giving a master code to law enforcement. <ref name="Updated Liberty Safe policy"> [https://x.com/libertysafeinc/status/1699606598669459680/photo/3 Updated policy statement] from Liberty safe on X (formerly Twitter)</ref> They also introduced a way for customers to reset or delete their recovery code. Either option removes the code from the company database, making it inaccessible to Liberty Safe. <ref name="Updated Liberty Safe policy" /> <ref> [https://www.libertysafe.com/pages/protecting-your-privacy Liberty Safe new 'Master code' policy] on their official website. </ref>
