Password Pusher
Go Ahead. Email Another Password.
Open source software for securely sharing passwords, text, URLs, and files. Trusted by thousands of organizations worldwide.
Password Pusher is a tool for sharing sensitive information securely. You create a unique, one-time link that expires after a set number of views or a set time. Recipients open the link, see the content once, and the data is no longer available—reducing the risk of credentials living in email or chat.
It is open source, free to use and modify, and designed to be self-hosted so your data never leaves your infrastructure.
Password Pusher began in December 2011 with a simple goal: stop sending passwords over email. The first commit was on December 28, 2011. The public service at pwpush.com went live shortly after.
Over the years it grew into a full-featured application—passwords, URLs, file uploads, QR codes, a JSON API, dozens of languages, and a large self-hosted community. Today it is used by companies, teams, and individuals who want a simple, auditable way to share secrets without leaving them in inboxes or messaging apps.
In 2024, Apnotic was formed to further the open source Password Pusher project: maintaining the codebase, hosting the public service at pwpush.com, publishing documentation, and offering a Pro edition for teams that want additional features and support. The open source version remains free and self-hostable.
Optional passphrase protection, view/expiration limits, optional deletion by viewer, JSON API, and more. See the documentation for details.
Payloads are encrypted at rest. You control where data lives: run Password Pusher on your own servers, in your cloud, or in Docker. Thousands of companies and teams self-host it so sensitive data never touches third-party SaaS.
No account is required for basic use; optional user accounts and sign-in let teams track their own pushes. The source code is open so you can review and adapt it.
Password Pusher is created and maintained by Peter Giacomo Lombardo. You can find him on LinkedIn, GitHub, or The OxOO.
