Your accountant, a repair technician, a client, a freelancer - everyone needs access now and then. Share it with a link that expires on its own, or give a contractor access to a single folder. No passwords in emails, no access that lasts forever.
A password sent by email or text stays in the recipient's inbox for years. A contractor who finished the project can often still sign in - because nobody remembered to take access away.
Passwords in emails and texts.
A message with a password lands in an inbox, a backup, and on several devices. You can't take it back.
Access with no end date.
A freelancer got a password for a week of work. A year later, it still works, because nobody changed it.
No idea what left the company.
Nobody keeps track of who got access and when. When an incident happens, it's hard to know where to start.
02 / How Inlockly helps
Two ways to collaborate. Full control in both.
Item link
For a while - for anyone, even without an account.
Pick an item and set the expiration and recipients. A link can last from one hour to 30 days, or expire after it's first opened. If it's limited to an email address, it requires a code sent to that inbox.
Recipients open the link in a browser, without installing Inlockly.
You see active links next to each item and revoke them with one click.
The key to the content is in the address after the
For the length of a project - access to one folder.
Add a contractor as a member with access to just the project folder. They sign in with autofill without learning the passwords, and you remove them when the project ends.
13 permissions per folder - including sign-in without seeing the password.
A freelancer's single account can belong to many companies.
Creating and revoking a link to a company item is logged. Expired links stay in the history for 30 days, and every change to an item has an author and a date.
A log you can filter by person and event category.
Grant the sharing permission only to the people you choose.
Without permission to view a password, you can't share it in a link.
Working with outsiders without passwords in inboxes.
Sample scenario

Architecture firm · Denver, CO

6 regular contractors
a dozen-plus clients a year
The challenge
Outside structural engineers and 3D artists got passwords to the file server and software licenses by email. Nobody changed them after the project ended.
Before
Passwords sent by email and text.
Contractors with access that never ended.
Wi-Fi and alarm codes given to technicians over the phone.
No list of who had been given what access.
With Inlockly
Links with an expiration date, only for a specific address.
Contractors with access to a single project folder.
Technicians get a one-time link that expires once opened.
A sharing log and a history of expired links.
The person and company are fictional. The scenario shows a typical rollout and Inlockly features that are available today.
04 / Rollout
New rules for collaboration in three steps.
01
Gather shared logins.
Move the passwords you share with outsiders into the company vault: Wi-Fi, licenses, dashboards, client accounts.
02
Decide who can share.
Grant the sharing permission only to people who work with outside partners.
03
Choose the method.
One-time or short-term - a link. For the length of a project - a member with access to one folder.
Does the link recipient need an Inlockly account?+
No. The link opens in a browser. If you limit it to email addresses, the recipient confirms with a code sent to their inbox.
How long can a link stay active?+
An hour, a day, or 7, 14, or 30 days - or until it's first opened. You can also revoke it earlier. Once it expires, the content can no longer be opened.
Does a contractor need a paid seat?+
If they're a company member with folder access - yes, they take up a seat on your plan. For a one-time handoff of a password, a link is enough, and it doesn't require an account.
Can I share something without revealing the password?+
With a company member - yes: turn off password viewing in the folder, and they sign in with autofill. A link always shows the recipient the item's contents, so use it for data they're meant to see.
