Abstract
A computing device is disclosed for securely sharing restricted content. The computing device includes a memory storing computer readable instructions, and one or more processors configured to execute the computer readable instructions. The computer readable instructions configure the one or more processors to, collectively, receive a share request to share the restricted content; in response to the share request, encode a link with encrypted access information, the access information including a first password and identifying the restricted content; receive an access request for access to the restricted content from a client device executing the link, the access request including the encrypted access information; receive a second password from the client device in association with the access request; and grant the client device access to the restricted content in response to determining the first password matches the second password. A method and a computer readable medium are also disclosed.
