Chrome extension documentation

General

The Password.link Chrome extension allows you to quickly and securely create encrypted, one-time secret links directly from your browser. Simply select the text you want to share, right-click, and generate a secure Password.link URL that is copied to your clipboard.

The Secret is encrypted in the browser, just like when you use the actual Password.link service.

For any issues, feature requests, or security concerns, contact us at hello@password.link.
