The Credential Catastrophe: Why You Need This Add-on

As an agency or freelancer, you juggle countless client accounts. Imagine this: Sarah, a freelancer, used a shared spreadsheet for all her client passwords. One day, she accidentally emailed the spreadsheet to the wrong client. This exposed dozens of credentials, causing a compliance nightmare.

Managing client credentials can quickly become a chaotic mess. Storing sensitive data in spreadsheets or shared documents is a major security risk. Human error is inevitable. Passwords get misplaced, accidentally shared, or simply forgotten. This leads to wasted time and potential security breaches. You spend valuable hours searching for the right credentials or resetting forgotten passwords.

Protecting client data is paramount. Poor credential management can lead to serious breaches. Our Private Credentials add-on helps you meet compliance requirements by securing sensitive data. It encrypts and securely stores usernames, passwords, API keys, and more. With role-based access, you control who sees what. Audit logs track all access for accountability. Integration with your help desk is seamless, and you can easily search for any credential.

Fantastic Features: What Makes This Add-on Awesome

Fantastic Help Desk: Private Credentials builds upon the solid foundation of the original Awesome Support: Private Credentials to offer a suite of features designed for superior credential management. It addresses problems like insecure storage and unauthorized access.

Secure Storage: Your data’s safety is our priority. Credentials are encrypted using strong algorithms, ensuring secure storage. Usernames, passwords, API keys, and other sensitive data are all protected. This keeps client information safe.
