Why Password Protection Isn't Enough for Sensitive Files
•1 min read
While password protection is essential, it’s not a silver bullet. For sensitive documents, combine passwords with expiring links and download limits.
The limits of passwords
- Reuse: People reuse passwords across contexts.
- Sharing risk: Passwords can be forwarded with the link.
- Guessability: Weak passwords are guessable.
What to add beyond passwords
- Time-bound access
- Limited downloads
- Identity verification when needed
With Comfyfile, these controls are built in, so you don’t have to choose between convenience and security.
