You have a NordPass account, so sharing credentials within the app is easy and secure. But the moment you need to share a login with someone who doesn’t have an account, the experience breaks down. Suddenly, you’re copying and pasting passwords into Slack DMs, emailing credentials to a vendor, or texting a Wi-Fi password to a friend. None of these channels were built to handle sensitive data, and once that credential leaves your vault, you lose all control over it.

We know this has been a pain point, and we should have solved it sooner. That changes today as we launch NordPass link sharing: a way to send any credential as a secure link that recipients can open right in their browser, no NordPass account required. They click, they copy, they’re in. And you stay in control the entire time, with expiration dates, view-count limits, and the option to lock access to a specific email address verified by a one-time passcode (OTP). Now, let’s break down how it works.
How link sharing works
The process of sharing credentials and other items saved in your NordPass account is pretty straightforward:
1. Generate a secure link. Pick any item in your vault, whether that’s a login, a Wi-Fi password, or a credit card, and create a shareable link by choosing to share it via link. Before you send it, set your controls: choose an expiration time, limit how many times the link can be viewed, and, if you want an extra layer of protection, restrict access to a specific email address and add an OTP.
2. Send the link however you like. Copy it into an email, drop it in a chat, text it to someone. The channel doesn’t matter anymore, because the link is secured from prying eyes.
3. The recipient opens and copies. They click the link, it opens in their browser, and they copy the credential. That’s it—no account signup, no friction. If you’ve locked the link to an email address, the recipient enters their email, receives a one-time passcode, and verifies their identity before they can see anything.
Once the link expires, hits its view limit, or is no longer shared, it’s no longer accessible. This way, the credential doesn’t linger in someone’s inbox forever, and it can’t be forwarded to an unintended third party. So, you can be sure that you shared what you needed to share, for exactly as long as you needed to share it.
For businesses
Every company occasionally has to share credentials with people outside their organization. Be it external agencies, consultants, or vendors – it happens constantly, and in most companies, it happens through email or Slack threads and shared spreadsheets that nobody tracks.
NordPass link-based sharing gives your team a single, secure method for every external handoff, with full visibility for admins. They can set organization-wide default rules for link sharing by defining maximum expiration windows or view count limits, and enforcing email verification on every shared link. Admins can also track every shared link: who created it, what was shared, when it was accessed, and whether the link has expired. So, when an auditor asks how your team handles third-party credential access, you won’t be caught off guard. You’ll have a clear answer with a paper trail to back it up.
For freelancers and personal users
You don’t need a business environment to run into the same sharing problem. If you’re a freelancer or solopreneur, chances are you’ve shared a client portal login with a subcontractor over WhatsApp, or pasted project credentials into a Google Doc and hoped for the best. NordPass link sharing works straight from your personal vault.
And it’s not just for work. Think about the credentials you share at home all the time: your Wi-Fi password when a friend visits, a streaming login for a family member, or your grocery delivery account details for a partner. Instead of reading characters out loud or typing them into someone else’s phone, you send a link that handles it seamlessly and disappears when it’s done.

Sharing credentials with people outside your account has always been one of those moments that came with friction. You knew the Slack message or text wasn’t secure, but there was no practical alternative.
Now there is. NordPass link sharing gives you a fast, controlled, and secure way to get credentials to anyone, whether you’re managing an organization’s vendor access, sending a project login to a freelance collaborator, or passing your Wi-Fi password to a guest.
