What is it?

Password Pusher is an open source web app for sending sensitive information without leaving it in chat or email. You push a password, note, file, or URL and receive a link that stops working after a set number of views, after a set amount of time, or both. Links can also require a passphrase. Once expired, the stored data is removed.

The app keeps an audit trail of when each push was created and viewed, and by whom when logins are used. It can be run as a hosted service at pwpush.com or self-hosted with Docker Compose, which includes automatic TLS via Let's Encrypt. Deployment is also supported on Kubernetes, Helm, and several cloud platforms.

For administrators, it provides a built-in admin dashboard, TOTP-based two-factor authentication, and white-label options such as themes, logo, and site name. It also offers a JSON API v2, a legacy API, an official CLI, and a Chrome extension. The UI is available in 31 languages.
