I don't see the use case.
There's 2 secrets here: the link and the password. And to share it with someone you need to share 2 secrets: the locked link and the password.
Why not use the same method you used to share the password to share the link instead? Without the need for this service.
Yeah, I appreciate the feedback. I need to do more, so the link isn't a secret, e.g. any password will decrypt any link to text so if you use the wrong password you get wrong data possibly a different link, that hides if you were wrong or right. Then you only need to share one secret via a separate channel.
