Share a Password

Applies To: AuthPoint Total Identity Security This topic applies to accounts with an AuthPoint Total Identity Security license.

You can share a password in your vault with other users from your company. You might do this if you have a shared account that is used by multiple people, such as a social media account.

You can only share passwords from your Corporate vault. You cannot share passwords from your Private vault.

When you share a password, the users you share the password with must accept the invitation. Users that accept the shared credentials see the password in their vault and the Sharing Center. The Sharing Center is a page in your password vault where can you see and manage the passwords that you have shared with other users, and the passwords that other users have shared with you.

Users that receive a shared password cannot make changes to the shared password. If the owner of the password makes changes, the password automatically updates for all users that it is shared with.

When you share a password, be aware of these requirements:

• You can share passwords with only users who have an active AuthPoint user account with your company, and have logged in to their password vault at least once.
• You must have an Internet connection to share a password.
• You cannot share passwords that have been shared with you.
