Sharing Secrets in Teams

Team-friendly practices for sharing passwords, keys, and internal files safely.

Teams share secrets constantly, so process matters as much as tooling.

A simple workflow reduces leaks and makes incident response faster.

Process hygiene

Use secure mode by default for credentials and rotate them regularly.

Avoid long-lived channels like email threads or shared docs for secrets.

Least access

Share the minimum information needed for the task.

When possible, send to one person instead of a group or channel.

Incident response

If a link might be exposed, revoke it and rotate the secret immediately.

Keep a playbook so teams respond quickly without debate.

Onboarding and training

Teach new team members how to use secure sharing from day one.

Provide templates for how to describe TTL, burn-after-read, and timing.
