This idea es very cool, and solves a common issue in a very simply way. Great work. You have to be careful with the links shared while the link is active, but is very useful.

FYI. Your WOT score is pretty bad. Looks like the domain accessurl.com is listed as spam domain because of previous owners. https://www.mywot.com/en/scoreca...

@tonybrix oof, that is something I didn't check before choosing this domain. It sounds like I'll have to send email someday through a different domain 😟 - or is there some way to prove to them it's a different owner so the score should get reset?

@jarredsumner You can check out their FAQ https://www.mywot.com/en/faq/sit... One thing they recommend is submitting a review request.https://www.mywot.com/en/faq/sit... That will notify the people who rated it before that they should rate it again and hopefully be enough to reverse the score. Just writing a post on their forum might help to get the community to rate it. I have it rated as good and posted a comment about previous owners :)

@jarredsumner @tonybrix You could just claim the website listing and put your case forward. https://www.mywot.com/en/claim-s...

This sounds very cool, but it lacks one big thing for me to trust it. OPEN SOURCE The only way I see myself and other savvy users use something like this, if this is open sourced, and people can comment and see the actual code. Otherwise, who knows, maybe you are storing everything in plain text, or maybe you're watching people's Netflix all the time for free :P

@altryne Since this is a chrome extension you can at least view all of that source code to verify you're only ever sending encrypted data to the server.

@altryne I'm going to strongly consider open sourcing this. Right now, the first thing I'd do if I wanted to poke around in the code is take a look at the Chrome extension in chrome dev tools. You'll find that the cookies are encrypted and sent without the password to the server only after being encrypted

@ekosz1 Yeah, I've taken a look, wish I had more time to dive in. But you can also update chrome extensions without user knowledge pretty easily and in the span of 4 hours.

This looks really promising and I can't wait to try it out! Quick question: If someone is using my Netflix via AccessURL and I change the password, what happens?

Looks great ! Just one question : if the URLs are that short (9 characters), and public, what is preventing any stranger from randomly accessing them ?
