Share Credentials Securely with Skyscanner

Updated

To securely share your credentials with Skyscanner, you will first receive from one of our team members a 1Password link with a key. 

Please encrypt a .txt file with your authentication details or access credentials using the provided encryption key, and send the encrypted file back to us using the same Zendesk thread we will open with you. 

Once we receive your encrypted .zip file, we’ll be ready to proceed. Please avoid sharing unencrypted secrets through email or other unsecured channels.
