Password protection

Sometimes you might want to be incognito and protect original link and its content; i.e., limit the circle of users, who has access to your personal thoughts, private information or an unfinished project.

With this goal in mind, Short.io (formerly short.cm) provides the “password protection” feature for your shortened links. So if you want to restrict access to information on a certain webpage, you can simply set a password on the corresponding short link.

It is easy to accomplish in your Short.io (formerly short.cm) dashboard. Choose the “password protection” tab in the link management window and write down the secure password for your short URL.

In this way, the user will be redirected to the page with the password request and reach the necessary content only after a correct password has been entered. So share links with their passwords among trusted users and be sure that your original link will be protected reliably.

The “password protection” instrument is available for users of any price plan. Just opt to use Short.io (formerly short.cm) and enjoy the service.
