vault key

Secure chamber access

A vault key is a key that opens a vault—typically a secure room or compartment for storing valuables in banks, businesses, or homes.

In video games, vault keys unlock special areas containing rare loot or rewards: I finally found the vault key after three hours of grinding.

The term implies access to something valuable and well-protected.
