  3. Enter a unique password that you can send to the recipient after you upload and send your files. We advise that you do this via a separate communication channel, preferably one that is secure or encrypted, such as Slack or Signal.

  4. If you send the password to the same email address as the FileSender invitation, you negate most of the security you gain by encrypting the files – anyone with access to the recipient’s email can also decrypt the files you send.

  5. Click Generate password to have FileSender automatically generate a password for you.
