Secure temporary links with password protection.
Password protection adds an extra layer of security to your temporary links by requiring visitors to enter a password before they can access the destination URL. Even if someone has the short link, they cannot view the content without the correct password.
This feature is ideal for sharing confidential documents, internal resources, customer-specific information, and any content that should only be accessible to authorised recipients.
When password protection is enabled, visitors must enter the correct password before they are redirected to the destination URL. If an incorrect password is entered, access is denied.
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Password Required | Visitors must enter the configured password before accessing the destination. |
| Optional Feature | Password protection can be enabled or omitted based on your requirements. |
| Works with Other Controls | Compatible with expiry dates, maximum clicks, and inactivity expiry. |
| Additional Security | Prevents unauthorised users from opening the temporary link. |
| Scenario | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Confidential Documents | Require a password before allowing access. |
| Internal Company Resources | Restrict access to authorised team members. |
| Customer-Specific Files | Share the password separately from the link. |
| Private Downloads | Protect downloads from unauthorised access. |
| Sensitive Information | Combine password protection with other expiry controls. |
Password protection becomes even more effective when used together with other temporary link controls.
