# Secure send (password-protected link)

In **Secure sending**, the content and attachments of the email do not go to the recipient's mailbox. Only a link is sent to the recipient; they open the message with the password you send separately. The link expires in the number of days you choose, and you can revoke it at any time.

- Every user with send permission in the mailbox

## What is secure send (password-protected link)?
