Being that our XR tiny url links are so incredibly short, it can be possible for others to randomly type in characters to see where the links are going. So, a private password key allows you to require your visitor to enter a password before being taken to the destination web page.
For example, when your visitor goes to http://xr.com/vio they will see a Password box. If the visitor types in the correct password (in this case "test"), then he will continue on to the destination URL.
This can be used along with the custom tag, custom domain (like x.bb) and is easy to set. Just log in to your XR account, click 'edit' and set the Private to "yes". The Password is unique for each of your XR tiny url links, and can be turned on and off at anytime.

Another use for this is for giving yourself password protected bookmarks. Let's say that you are sharing your PC/browser and you would like to bookmark an Amazon product page that you would like to buy for your significant other. Create a link at XR.com, set it to Private with a unique password, and then add that XR tiny url link to your Bookmarks. Now you have a password protected bookmark in your shared browser! Ditto for your office computer. Don't want your boss to know what you are getting him for Christmas!
