# Share items

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

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.

<Note>
  The internal sharing feature within Locker is only available for Premium plan users and above.
