Secure Connect allows clients to connect one account for each link. For Agencies, we now recommend using Client Connect Links, which allows your clients to connect all of their social accounts with a single link.
Secure Connect lets agencies connect multiple social media accounts to Postpone.
With Secure Connect, your clients add their own social accounts to your Postpone account. This has a number of benefits:
- Your other social accounts are protected, since clients will log into their social accounts with their IP address and browser.
- This is especially important with Reddit, which can link accounts together and chain-ban them all if one account is banned.
- Your Postpone account security is improved, since clients will not have access to your Postpone account.
- Client privacy is improved, since clients don’t need to share their social account credentials.
The Secure Connect flow is simple:
- Create a Secure Connect link under Settings -> Connected Accounts -> Secure Connect Links in Postpone.
- Send the link to your client.
- Your client clicks the link and logs into their social account.
- The social account is added to your Postpone account.
At no step in the process can the client access your Postpone account.
