Need to securely tell someone a password? Use this service http://pwpush.com/

In a nutshell, you plug in the password and specify when the system should forget it (in # of days or # of views, whichever comes first). It’ll then give you a funky web address, which when viewed by the recipient, will give them the password.

Since emailing passwords is a not great idea for too many reasons to list, using this service guarantees that you can be sure only your intended recipient gets it.

If, for example, their email system is being snooped upon by bad nerds and those nefarious evil-doers click the link first, your recipient can say “hey it expired” and then you’ll know the password was sniffed, you can change it, and you’ll know somebody along the way is reading your or their emails.

How do you know the site is safe and does what it says? For one, the source code is posted online so anybody (with the right skills) can review it and say “yup, does what it says”. Secondly, anybody (with the right skills) can download the source code and run it themselves on their own website. Hmmmm maybe not a bad idea for ours!

Anyhoo, the source is here if you’re the nerdy kind who likes to review these things: https://github.com/pglombardo/PasswordPusher
