Working Safely With a Virtual Assistant (VA): Delegate Permissions Without Giving Passwords

Hiring a VA is a great way to scale, but how do you assign tasks without handing over the 'keys to the house'? Multilogin's sharing feature will help you.

Grant access, not ownership.

The Risks of Sending Passwords to a VA

The traditional method is to send the username and password to a VA via message. This method has numerous risks:

• Loss of control: The VA can change the password and take over your account.
• Information leaks: Messages can be hacked, or the VA might accidentally/intentionally expose the information.
• Triggering platform suspicion: An account suddenly being logged into from another country (where the VA lives) is an unusual sign, easily leading to verification or suspension.

The Solution: Share Profiles, Not Passwords

With Multilogin, you don't need to give your password to a VA. Instead, you share access to a pre-configured browser profile.

• You create the profile: You are the one who creates the profile, logs into the account (Facebook, Amazon...), and sets up the appropriate proxy.
• Invite the VA to a group: You create a Group and invite the VA to join your Multilogin account as a team member.
• Share the profile with the VA: You move the created profile into the group that the VA is a member of.
• The VA works: The VA just needs to log into their Multilogin account, and they will see the profile you shared. They click 'Start' and can begin working on that account immediately without ever knowing the password.

Full Control Remains in Your Hands

You can revoke the VA's access at any time by simply removing them from the group. All assets remain under your control. This is the most professional, secure, and effective method for collaborating with remote freelancers or virtual assistants.

Give your VA the tools to do the job, not your assets. Multilogin helps you draw a clear and safe boundary.
