Introduction

At Cloaked, our goal is to ensure your online identities remain both private and secure. Identity sharing makes the process of sharing login details not only secure but also straightforward and hassle-free. Through the use of unique sharing links, you can confidently share sensitive login details with the intended recipients. Even better, recipients don't even need a Cloaked account. Let’s dig into the details of how identity sharing works.
