## Description

AccessURL is a Chrome extension designed to enable users to share access to their online accounts without revealing their username or password. By generating a secure Access URL, users can share account access with colleagues, friends, or family, controlling the duration of access and revoking it anytime. The extension uses AES-256 encryption to ensure secure session data transmission. 

Besides sharing access, AccessURL allows users to request access to websites securely via URL or email, facilitating one-click sharing by the recipient without divulging passwords. Ideal use cases include sharing social media accounts, collaborating on documents, and delegating email tasks. Users should only share URLs with trusted contacts and ensure compliance with the website's policies. Note that the extension does not function in Incognito mode and is compatible with multiple Firefox instances or different devices. Support is available via support@accessurl.com.
