Password gated Auto-expiry Click tracking

Password Protected Links

Add a password and optional expiry to any short link. Visitors must enter the correct password before they are redirected, and failed attempts do not pollute your click totals.

Password Protected

The owner has restricted access to this link.

How it works

1
Paste your URL and expand options
On the homepage, paste your long URL and open the advanced settings block.
2
Set a password
Enter a strong password. Optionally set an expiry date and time so the link stops working automatically.
3
Share the short link
Send the short link to the intended recipients. Anyone without the password sees the prompt, not the destination.
4
Track authorised clicks only
Only successful password attempts count in analytics, so the reporting stays clean.

Best practices

Use strong passwords and avoid names, dates, or dictionary words.
Set an expiry when the asset or offer only needs a short access window.
Change passwords for repeat campaigns instead of recycling old ones.
Share the password separately rather than in the same message as the link.

Common use cases

Internal documents
Lock HR policies, board decks, or internal reports behind a password before sending to the right team.
Client deliverables
Share design proofs, proposals, or reports exclusively with paying clients without making them public.
Time-limited offers
Run a flash sale or early-access campaign that auto-expires when the deadline passes.
Private video links
Gate behind-the-scenes or premium video content with a password your audience receives elsewhere.
