Securely Share Passwords
Categories:
onetimesecret.com offers a simple way to reduce that exposure: share a link that lets your designer view the password once.
How to use One-Time Secret
-
Create a separate account for your designer whenever possible. Give them only the permissions needed for the job.
-
Visit onetimesecret.com and enter the password you need to share.
-
Choose an expiration time. Allow enough time for your designer to retrieve it. You can also add a passphrase for extra protection.
-
Create the link and send it directly to your designer. If you added a passphrase, share that through a separate channel—for example, by phone if you emailed the link.
-
Have your designer save the password in their password manager when they view it. Don’t reveal the secret yourself to test it; it’s intended for a single viewing.
According to One-Time Secret, the stored secret is deleted after it is viewed, and you can set it to expire if it goes unread.
A secure handoff is just the beginning
Treat the link as sensitive: someone who obtains it before your designer could use it, unless it’s protected by a passphrase. Deleting the secret also doesn’t change the actual account password or prevent the recipient from saving a copy.
When the work is finished, remove access that’s no longer needed or change any shared passwords. A one-time link, a dedicated account, and a little cleanup help keep your website access under control.
