Password Sharing

Share passwords securely with end-to-end encryption. Password.app lets you encrypt passwords before sharing and send the unlock key separately for maximum security.

How It Works

Encrypt Password

  1. 1

    Enter the password you want to share

  2. 2

    Choose your encryption options (algorithm and key length)

  3. 3

    Click "Generate Sharing Link" to encrypt the password

  4. 4

    Copy both the encrypted password link and the unlock key

Share Securely

  1. 1

    Send the encrypted password link to the recipient

  2. 2

    Send the unlock key through a different channel (text, call, etc.)

  3. 3

    The recipient visits the link and enters the unlock key

  4. 4

    The password is decrypted locally on their device

Key Features

End-to-End Encryption

All encryption happens in your browser before sharing. The original password is never sent over the internet unencrypted, and we never have access to it.

Two-Factor Sharing

By separating the encrypted password and the unlock key, even if someone intercepts one part, they cannot access the password without the other part.

Custom Expiration

Set your shared password to expire after a certain time period or number of views. Once expired, the link will no longer work, even with the correct unlock key.

Multiple Encryption Options

Choose from AES-GCM, AES-CBC, or AES-CTR encryption with 128, 192, or 256-bit keys. Our system automatically handles the complexity for both you and the recipient.

Frequently Asked Questions

How secure is this sharing method?

Our password sharing uses industry-standard AES encryption with up to 256-bit keys, the same level of security used by governments and financial institutions. The two-factor approach (separate encrypted password and unlock key) adds an additional layer of security.

Do I need an account to share passwords?

No, you can use our password sharing feature without creating an account. However, having an account allows you to track your shared passwords, set custom expiration times, and manage other sharing options.

What's the best way to send the unlock key?

For maximum security, send the unlock key through a different communication channel than the encrypted password link. For example, if you email the encrypted password link, send the unlock key via text message, phone call, or a secure messaging app.

Can I see if someone has viewed my shared password?

Yes, if you have an account, you can track when your shared password links are accessed. This feature helps you know when the recipient has successfully received and viewed the password.
