Password Pusher

Self-Hosted

Securely share passwords with self-destructing links

Overview

Password Pusher is an open-source tool for sharing sensitive data like passwords via temporary, self-destructing links. Users set expiration rules (views or time limits) to prevent indefinite exposure. Deployable via Docker, Kubernetes, or as a Ruby on Rails app, it supports self-hosting for full privacy control. Features include custom expiration, one-time access, optional encryption, and a simple interface—ideal for avoiding insecure sharing methods like email or unencrypted chat.

Frequently Asked Questions

? Is Password Pusher hard to install?

No—deploying Password Pusher is straightforward. The Docker image allows a single command setup, and Kubernetes manifests are available for cluster deployments. For Ruby users, it can also be run as a Rails app with minimal dependencies.

? Is it a good alternative to OneTimeSecret?

Absolutely—Password Pusher replicates OneTimeSecret’s core self-destructing link feature but adds open-source flexibility. Unlike OneTimeSecret (a SaaS), you can self-host Password Pusher to keep data on your own servers.

? Is it completely free?

Yes—Password Pusher is licensed under MIT, so it’s 100% free to use and self-host. The public instance (passwordpusher.com) is also free with no usage charges for standard needs.
