Public visitors can read this workflow page; creation stays inside account-controlled product surfaces.

Direct answer

A client credential intake portal gives clients a safer place to send passwords, login details, and setup secrets during onboarding, support, or migration work.

What to avoid

  • Collecting client passwords in spreadsheets.
  • Asking clients to email credentials to a shared inbox.
  • Storing many customer secrets in long-running ticket threads.

Safer workflow

  1. 1 Create request links for each client or project.
  2. 2 Send clients the secure fill link instead of asking for plaintext.
  3. 3 Keep ownership, notifications, and quotas inside the dashboard.
  4. 4 Delete or rotate credentials after the work is complete.

FAQ

Can clients send credentials without an account?

Yes, request links are designed so the receiver owns the workflow and the client fills the secure link.

Why avoid spreadsheets for credential intake?

Spreadsheets are copied, synced, shared, and retained. Temporary secret links reduce long-term exposure.

Is this a full portal in v1?

This page routes into the existing secure request workflow first; deeper portal behavior can be added later.
