Hi all,
I just wanted to pop-in and let you know that we are looking at password protected links now. We don't have a timeframe that we can share yet but this is definitely a feature we want to get into everyone's hands. Thanks!

If you've got to send a new password, why not send a new link, how is that any different.
The link is effectively a password, that great long GUID on the end of the url performs exactly the same function as a password, a shared secret.

Because I could send the link and password via separate channels, which is the usual practice. Furthermore, ensuring the link is HTTPS (and assuming no MitM attacks), any proxy can intercept the link, but without the password, it is useless (or at least limited, dependent on the allowable permissions granularity).
