Control the lifecycle
Set expiration, usage limits, or one-time behavior so links follow the actual lifetime of the resource.
SURLS / Password Protected URL
Add a password gate before the destination without changing the destination URL.
Put a password in front of the destination
Why this matters
Share a link while keeping the destination behind a password prompt. This is useful when the recipient should have the URL but still need a separate secret to continue.
SURLS puts link creation, lifecycle, access control, domains, and delivery behavior behind one manageable endpoint.
Protect access
Use password or PIN protection and other available access rules when a destination should not be openly exposed.
Keep the URL stable
Manage the destination behind the public link so published URLs can continue working as your content changes.
Core capabilities
Built around the way this link is actually used.
Choose the controls that match the resource, recipient, and lifetime of the URL.
Password gate
Designed as part of a managed link workflow so the public URL remains useful while its behavior stays configurable.
Controlled sharing
Designed as part of a managed link workflow so the public URL remains useful while its behavior stays configurable.
Managed destination
Designed as part of a managed link workflow so the public URL remains useful while its behavior stays configurable.
How it works
From destination to controlled link.
A simple workflow that scales from one manual link to application-generated infrastructure.
01
Choose a destinationStart with the URL, download endpoint, campaign destination, or application resource you want to expose.
02
Apply the policyConfigure the access and lifecycle rules that match the use case: protection, expiration, usage, or domain.
03
Publish the linkShare the resulting short URL anywhere a normal link can be used: browser, email, QR code, product UI, or API workflow.
04
Manage it laterReview activity and update the link without needing to replace every place where the public URL was published.

Frequently asked
Clear answers before you ship.
Can I use a password with a normal short link?
Yes. A SURLS link can be configured with password protection while keeping the destination behind the SURLS access layer.
Can I combine multiple controls?
Yes. SURLS is designed so lifecycle and access controls can be combined where the workflow requires more than one condition.
Can I use this from an application?
Yes. SURLS provides API-oriented link infrastructure so applications can create and manage links programmatically.
Can I use my own domain?
Custom-domain support lets you connect a domain, verify DNS, and create links using that domain.
