Passwords

Share password

8min

You can share a password kept in Passwork in three different ways:

  • Send password to other Passwork users to share passwords with others directly within Passwork.
  • Create a shortcut for quick access to the password from another directory.
  • Create a link which you can share with someone outside Passwork.

Send password to another user

You can send a password to another Passwork user without granting them access to the entire vault or folder. This functionality also allows you to track all the passwords you have sent, manage users' access to a shared password, or delete them through the Additional access window.

1

To do this, open the sharing menu and click Send to user:

In the pop-up window, select one or more users and set their access levels:

Users with Read and edit access can modify the received password, and all changes will be applied to the original password.

You can view the list of users who have been granted access to the password and their access levels in the additional access window

Create link

The link allows you to share the password with someone who is not registered in Passwork.

There are two types of links: reusable and single-use. For each type, you can set an expiration time (one hour, one day, one week or unlimited). A one-time link expires three minutes after the user opens it.

You can delete a specific link or view the list of all created links, their creation date, the user who created the link, the number of views, and the expiration date in the Password additional access window.

Create shortcut

You can share a password by creating a shortcut for it in another vault or folder. Users will be able to view and edit the shortcut, but not the password itself, based on their access rights in that directory.

To do this, open the sharing menu and click Create shortcut:
