From the developer
Fabian Todt's own description of Private Post Share, lightly tidied.
Share a link to anonymous users to view private and password protected posts (or any other public post type).
This plugin generates secret URLs (similar to Google Docs and other cloud services) for posts so you can share them with not-logged in users without having to share an extra password with them.

Usage
- To enable a sharable url check the box below the edit post box on a private or password protected post
- The link will be displayed if the checkbox is checked, just copy and share the link.
- To disable just uncheck the box.
By default, it’s enabled for all public post types, but that can be changed via the private_post_share/post_types filter.
