Step 2: Create a New Sheet for Credentials

2. Rename the sheet something like Secure Access for Domain Guard (top-left corner)

3. In the sheet, enter your credentials like this:

Platform	Login URL	Username / Email	Password	Notes
WordPress Website	https://yourdomain.com/wp-admin	[email protected]	********	Admin access

Step 3: Protect the File

You can add an optional extra layer of security by doing one of the following:

Use Google Drive's native sharing permissions

1. Click the green “Share” button in the top-right corner

2. In the “Share with people and groups” field, enter:
   [email protected]

3. Set permissions to Viewer or Editor, as appropriate

4. Click Send

Step 4: Notify Domain Guard

After sharing the file, send a short email to [email protected] confirming:

• The name of the file

• That access has been granted

• Any notes on access (e.g. 2FA, time-limited credentials, etc.)

---

After Use

Domain Guard will delete or secure the credentials after use. If the login was time-sensitive, we recommend:

• Changing the password once setup is complete

• Revoking access to the file via Google Drive if it’s no longer needed
