Your agency has asked for access to Namecheap. You don't need to share your password for it. Namecheap lets you add them with their own login, choose exactly what they can do, and remove them when the project ends. These are the clicks, checked against Namecheap's own help pages in October 2026.
Which role to choose
Pick the narrowest role that lets your agency do the work. Advanced DNS is usually the right one.
| Role | What it allows | For an agency |
|---|---|---|
| Advanced DNS | Host records, nameservers, DNSSEC and other DNS settings for the domain. | Usually the right one |
| Manage Host Records | Adds, removes and edits host records only. | If the work needs it |
| Services | Renewals, auto-renew, domain privacy, email forwarding and the parking page. | If the work needs it |
Add your agency to Namecheap
- Sign in to Namecheap, open Domain List and click Manage next to your domain.
- Open the Sharing & Transfer tab. Under Share Access, enter your agency's email address in New Manager and click Add.
- Choose Give manager some permissions, then tick only Advanced DNS.
- Enter your Namecheap password and click Confirm.
Your agency needs a Namecheap account to accept. The invitation link stays active for 7 days.
How you both know it worked
Namecheap emails your agency an invitation from namecheap.com. Once they accept it, they show in your Namecheap account's list of people with access, where you can see or change their role at any time.
Remove access when the project ends
- Open Domain List, click Manage next to your domain, then open the Sharing & Transfer tab.
- Under Domain Managers, open the arrow next to Edit beside your agency, choose Remove, then click Done.
Do you have to share your password?
No. Every step above uses Namecheap's own invite, so your agency signs in with their own account, your two-step verification stays on, and anything they change is recorded under their name. How to give a developer access without sharing your password covers the other accounts agencies usually ask for.
Doing this for every client?
Agencies can send each client one Get Set Keys link instead of a page like this. It walks the client through Namecheap and the other platforms the project needs, and checks that each step is done.
