Temporary links are perfect for sharing one-time access with contractors, external support teams, or anyone who needs brief access to a 2FA code without being added to your organization.
Step 1: Navigate to the Accounts Page
From your dashboard, click on the "Accounts" link in the sidebar. This will show you a list of all your 2FA accounts.
Step 2: Locate the Account to Share
Find the account you want to share temporary access to. Click on the three-dot menu icon (⋮) on the right side of the account row.
Step 3: Select "Send Temporary Link"
From the dropdown menu, click on "Send Temporary Link". This will open a modal dialog where you can configure the temporary access link.
Step 4: Enter Recipient's Email Address
In the "Recipient Email" field, enter the email address of the person you want to share access with. This person will receive an email with the secure link.
Important: The link will expire in 30 minutes for security purposes.
Step 5: Send the Link
Click the "Send Link" button. An email will be sent to the recipient containing:
- A secure, unique link to access the temporary OTP codes
- Instructions on how to use the link
- Clear indication that this is temporary access
Security Features:
- Links expire automatically after 30 minutes
- Recipients can view codes but cannot see account details once the link expires
- Each code generation is logged in your audit trail for security monitoring
- If a link expires, you'll need to generate and send a new one
Step 6: Recipient Access
The recipient will receive an email with a link. When they click the link, they will see:
- The account name and logo (if applicable)
- A "Reveal Code" button to generate and view the current 2FA code
- How much time remains before the link expires
- The ability to copy the code for easy pasting
Temporary link sharing provides a secure way to grant limited access without compromising your organization's security. Once the link expires, the recipient will no longer be able to access any information about the account.
Tip: For ongoing collaboration, consider
inviting team members to your organization instead of using temporary links.
