It is also possible to send a password directly to another user in-app or outside of Devolutions Server by using Devolutions Send. The user needs to have view permission on that entry to send it.
The main difference with this option is that the password is automatically added and hidden as the message. The password can only be edited if the text is revealed (by clicking the eye icon).
