How to ask a client for their passwords

The tidy way to ask a client for their passwords: a link with a simple form, no voice notes, photos or screenshots, that closes after it's used.

The problem

When you start with a client you need all their logins. They arrive in pieces, in voice notes, photos and emails; half are missing, and the passwords stay in the chat forever.

How it works

  1. 1

    Set up the request

    From the client in Passfolio, pick the services you need and write a short message.

  2. 2

    Send the link

    Over WhatsApp or by copying it. The client opens it in the browser, without creating an account.

  3. 3

    The client fills in each service

    User, password, link and notes. If the account uses 2FA with an authenticator app, they can add the key.

  4. 4

    Receive it organized

    You get an email and the logins appear in the client's folder, encrypted and marked as new.

Details

  • The link expires in 1, 7 or 30 days and closes after the first submission.
