How to Share Passwords Securely with Bitdefender SecurePass

1. Click the Bitdefender SecurePass extension icon from the browser toolbar or go to https://securepass.bitdefender.com/
2. Unlock your vault if prompted.
3. In the SecurePass window, select My vault from the navigation menu.
4. Click on the item that you want to share.
5. Open the item’s additional actions menu, represented by the three-dot icon, then click Share link.
6. Optionally, in the Create link share window, configure any of the following protections:
   • Expiration date: Select this option and choose the date after which the link will no longer work.
   • Usage limit: Select this option and specify how many times the link may be opened.
   • Password-protected link: Select this option and enter the password required to access the shared item.
7. Then click the Create link share button.
8. SecurePass generates a sharing link. Click the copy icon next to the link to copy it to your clipboard.
9. Send the link to the intended recipient through a trusted communication channel.

When password protection is enabled, it’s recommended to send the password separately from the link. For example, send the link by email and provide the password by phone or through a different messaging service. When the recipient opens a password-protected link, SecurePass asks for the link password before displaying the shared information.

7. Tap Create link.

8. Tap Send link to open your device’s sharing options, or tap the copy icon to copy the link.
