Sharing a company LinkedIn login over Slack. Emailing a co-founder the GoDaddy password to fix a DNS issue. Handing PayPal credentials to the freelancer who runs the ads. These are the small, daily security risks that AccessOff wants to remove from the way people work online.
The Lebanese startup, based at Berytech in Beirut, has built a desktop app that lets account owners share access to any online account without ever revealing the password. The person on the other side gets in, does the work they were invited to do, and nothing else. When the time is up, access ends.
Replacing the shared password
The product solves a problem most teams quietly accept. Passwords get passed around in chats, notes apps, and spreadsheets. They live with people who no longer need them. They travel through channels that should not see them. AccessOff is built on the idea that the access itself, not the password, is what should be shared.
The flow is short. Both sides install AccessOff on Mac or Windows. The account owner logs into the platform they want to share, sets what the invited person can and cannot do, decides how long the access lasts, then sends an invite. AccessOff compares its own user experience to Slack, with workspaces, channels, and invitations, but applied to logins rather than messages.
From LinkedIn to PayPal
AccessOff is not tied to a single category. The team says the product works across social platforms, tech tools, financial services, legal software, and education tools, with named examples including LinkedIn, Hostinger, GoDaddy, PandaDoc, and PayPal. A founder can hand the company LinkedIn to an agency and limit them to posting. An owner can let a developer touch the hosting account for a day, then close the door automatically.
Every shared session is tracked, so the account owner can see what the other party did while inside. That tracking layer is what turns AccessOff from a convenience into something teams can point to when they need to talk about compliance, audit trails, or shared responsibility.
Built out of Beirut
AccessOff is led by CEO Youssef Alhomsi. The company is part of the startup community at Berytech, the Beirut-based incubator.
The company says its mission is to make secure delegation possible by removing password sharing entirely, so leaders can move faster and teams can keep working without giving up control. Its longer-term ambition, in its own words, is to become the global standard for controlled access across digital platforms.
Five plans, two operating systems
AccessOff runs on a tiered subscription model. A Solo plan is free forever and lets one user share password-free access with one person. Paid plans start at five dollars per user every four weeks for the Starter tier, twelve dollars for Professional, and fifteen dollars for Business, with custom pricing for Enterprise customers. All paid tiers include timed access, customized access, and tracking.
The app is available for Mac (both Intel and Apple Silicon) and for Windows. AccessOff has also picked up visibility outside the Lebanese ecosystem, with appearances on Shark Tank and LBC International listed on the company's homepage.
The bet on access over passwords
The bet behind AccessOff is straightforward. As remote teams, contractors, agencies, and freelancers continue to multiply, the question of who has access to what becomes harder to track, and password sharing remains the weakest part of the chain. By stripping the password out of the equation and replacing it with controlled, monitored, time-bound access, AccessOff is trying to make a piece of everyday work less risky.
