URL shrinking services are a dime a dozen but few stand out due to their unique features. Trick.ly is a bit special because it offers you an additional layer of security while sharing shortened URLs. When you shrink a URL with Trick.ly, you also have the option to set a password protection.

This way, only the intended recipients of the URL can see it after entering the password. You can also set a password clue that will be displayed to everybody in case they forget the password.

One thing Trick.ly doesn’t offer is tracking how many clicks your URL has received. This little addition would make Trick.ly a perfect URL shrinking tool.

Features:

• Shrink URLs and password protect them.
• Add clues so intended recipients can guess the password.
• Expiration date feature and a Firefox add-on coming soon.
• No registration required.
• Similar tool: Saf.li
