По аналогии для доступа по паролю сделан путь вида

/ishare/:id Example: /ishare/555

By analogy, for access by password, a path of the form

Creating Access

In order to create access by password, you need to::

• select the desired issue
• In sidebar press Shared anonym
• 
• The form for creating access will open.

A table of existing accesses is displayed at the top. which contains the following information:

First column:

• Access creation time
• Who created the access (clickable link to the user)
• How long will this password be valid for?

Second column

• The password itself is 10 characters

Third column

• Comment. Brief note. For example, for what/whom the access was granted

For convenience, when opening the form, a random password is automatically generated so as not to suffer the throes of a "creative password". But if you wish, you can specify your own, in a simpler way, for example 123445 =)
