Addressing Enterprise Security Challenges
With the new restrictive settings, Passwork 7.4 addresses key security concerns faced by enterprises:

Preventing link creation for external contractors:
- Temporary password links can only be created from Company vaults, where expiration times and access rights are managed by administrators.
Eliminating corporate password duplication:
- Restrictions prevent employees from copying passwords to personal vaults or creating shortcuts, ensuring credentials remain centralized and up-to-date in Company vaults.
