Password Sharing
Secure password sharing for modern teams.
Stop pasting passwords into chat. LinkPilot lets you send any credential through a link that expires, requires a passphrase, and self-destructs after the recipient reads it. Every share is logged, so your team has a real audit trail when credentials change hands.

Secret Links are not marketing links.
Secret contents are handled separately from short-link analytics. LinkPilot may show basic delivery/audit events, but secret contents are never used for campaign analytics, profiling, or retargeting.
Secret Links vs Smart Links
Two different jobs, kept intentionally separate. Use the right tool for the right share.
| Secret Links | Smart Links | |
|---|---|---|
| Primary use case | Sending sensitive info you want to control after sending | Branded short links for campaigns and content |
| Expiration | Required — minutes to 30 days, or on first view | Optional — set an expiry if you want one |
| One-time viewing | Yes — burn after read enforced atomically | No — designed to be clicked many times |
| Passphrase protection | Optional, hashed client-side before transport | Not applicable |
| Analytics | None on contents — only basic delivery/audit events | Full click analytics: referrers, geo, device, UTM |
| Audit events | Created, viewed, burned, revoked — per secret | Aggregated click stream and link lifecycle |
| Best for | Passwords, API keys, credentials, confidential notes | Marketing, social, email, QR codes, partner links |
Common use cases
- Onboarding new hires with starter credentials
- Sharing shared-account passwords across teams
- Sending vendor or contractor access details
- Distributing customer-specific API tokens
What you get
Passphrase + expiry
Combine a passphrase with a short expiry window for defense in depth.
Burn-after-read option
Single-view delivery so passwords do not stay accessible after onboarding.
Audit timeline
Track who created, viewed, and burned every credential link.
Team workspaces
Role-based access so the right people can issue and revoke shared credentials.
Why teams choose LinkPilot
One platform for every kind of link
Most tools cover either marketing links or secret sharing. LinkPilot covers both — with the controls, audit trail, and team workflows engineering and marketing teams actually need.

How is this actually secured?
No vague "military-grade encryption" claims — here is the real model. Traffic is TLS-encrypted in transit and stored data is encrypted at rest on managed infrastructure. Passphrases are SHA-256 hashed in your browser before transport, so the raw passphrase never reaches our database or logs.
Burn-after-read is enforced atomically with row-level locking, so two concurrent viewers can never both read a secret. Burned, expired, or revoked payloads are irreversibly redacted. Viewer IPs are SHA-256 hashed with a salt that rotates every 24 hours — raw IPs are never stored — and link unfurlers (Slack, email scanners) receive metadata only: a view is recorded solely on an explicit reveal.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a replacement for a password manager?
No — it complements one. Use a manager for long-lived team credentials and LinkPilot for short-lived hand-offs that should not live in chat or email.
How do I deliver the passphrase securely?
Send it through a different channel than the link — for example, the link by email and the passphrase by Slack DM or SMS.
Can I revoke a credential after sending it?
Yes. Revoke from the dashboard at any time and the link will refuse to reveal even before its expiry.
