Securely share passwords and other items with your friends and family members using Locker.

Why use Locker to share data?

Sharing confidential data via email or text messages is NOT safe, as messaging and email services typically transmit plain text over the network without encrypting the data. This means your information could be exposed to third-party providers. Locker, on the other hand, uses the strongest encryption system to encrypt your data before sending it over the internet, ensuring maximum security for you.
The internal sharing feature within Locker is only available for Premium plan users and above.
