How to Share Passwords Securely with Coworkers

Learn the safest methods for sharing passwords in a professional environment without leaving a security trail.

Sharing passwords is something we all need to do from time to time. Whether it's giving a coworker access to a shared account, sending login credentials to a family member, or sharing API keys with a development team, the challenge is always the same: how do you do it securely?

The Problem with Traditional Methods

Most people share passwords through email, Slack, or text messages. The problem? These methods leave a permanent trail. Your password sits in someone's inbox indefinitely, can be forwarded to others, and is visible in message history.

❌ Never Do This

  • • Send passwords in plain email
  • • Share credentials in Slack or Teams
  • • Text passwords via SMS
  • • Write passwords in shared documents

The Secure Solution: One-Time Secret Links

The safest way to share a password is through a self-destructing, encrypted link. Here's how it works:

  1. 1Enter your password into an encrypted form
  2. 2Get a unique, one-time link
  3. 3Share the link with your recipient
  4. 4Once they view it, the password is destroyed forever

✓ Why This Works

  • No permanent record - The password is deleted after viewing
  • End-to-end encrypted - Even the service can't read your password
  • Time-limited - Links expire even if not used
  • Optional password protection - Add an extra layer of security
