Password-Protected Short Link
Create a free short URL that requires a password before redirecting.
No mandatory registration
Create the link anonymously. TinyURLFree stores the private management credential in this browser, and you may optionally attach the link to a free account later for cross-device access.
Require a password before the redirect
Password protection adds an access step before TinyURLFree redirects a visitor to the destination. The password itself is stored using secure password hashing rather than as readable plaintext.
A protected short link is not a substitute for authentication on the destination website. Anyone who learns the link password can continue through the redirect.
Quick steps
- 1. Enter the destination URL.
- 2. Set a password in the advanced link options.
- 3. Create the short URL and share the password separately when appropriate.
Common questions
Is the link password stored in plaintext?
No. TinyURLFree uses password hashing for stored link passwords.
Does password protection encrypt the destination website?
No. It only controls whether TinyURLFree performs the redirect.
Can a protected link also expire?
Yes. Password protection can be combined with supported scheduling, expiration and click-limit controls.
