To split and distribute a password following steps need to be done:

Creating Meta Password

create a meta password (meta-information about the password on the server side)
the server returns the result, which is MetaPasswordsResponse
you need to get the first record in the passwords field, which has the type MetaPasswordDoc which contains MetaPasswordId

Distribute The Password (split)

Having a PasswordId, you can start distributing your password by calling distribute() method
you will need to provide a SecretDistributionDoc which contains: type (it must be Split in our case), passwordId, and encrypted message
you will need to encrypt all shares of the password which public RSA keys of other devices accordingly

Download your shares

to distribute shares of passwords, any device has to get its shares by calling findShares() method.
Download your shares and save them on the device. There are two types of SecretDistributionDoc: Split and Recover

Recover the password

each device: calls a [recover()]() method
