Passwords
Send a password securely — without leaving a trail
Email lives in sent folders forever. Slack stores everything. WhatsApp backs up to the cloud. SnapSend gives you a link that the recipient opens once, then it’s permanently gone. The recipient can’t even re-read it — which is exactly the point.
How to do it
01
Paste the password
Open the Text tab and paste the password (or any sensitive text). Add a label if useful — “AWS root”, “client login”, etc.
02
Pick an expiry
Choose how long the link should be valid — from 15 minutes to 7 days. Shorter is safer.
03
Optionally add a passphrase
Pro users can add a second passphrase the recipient must type to decrypt. Useful for high-stakes credentials.
04
Send the link
Copy the encrypted link and send it via any channel. The link is harmless without being opened — once read, it self-destructs.
Why “just send me the password” is the weak link in most breaches
Most account takeovers don’t begin with someone cracking encryption — they begin with a credential that was shared in plaintext and never cleaned up. A password pasted into email, Slack, or a text becomes a permanent record across multiple devices and servers. Attackers know this: once they compromise a single inbox or chat account, the first thing they do is search it for words like “password,” “login,” and “credentials.” Everything you ever shared in the clear is waiting for them there.
It gets worse with password reuse, which is still the norm. One leaked shared credential can unlock several accounts, and because the message usually includes both the username and the site, an attacker gets everything they need in one place. Sharing over a channel that keeps a searchable copy forever turns a small convenience into a standing liability.
How to send a password so it can’t be reused against you
Send the password as a one-time SnapSend link instead of raw text. It decrypts on the recipient’s device, self-destructs after a single read, and leaves nothing behind in either person’s message history. Set a short expiry so an unopened link dies on its own, and add an optional passphrase for anything highly sensitive so even the link alone isn’t enough.
Two habits make it airtight: send the username and the password through different channels so no single intercepted message contains both, and rotate the password once the recipient no longer needs standing access. Because SnapSend stores only browser-encrypted ciphertext — the decryption key lives in the URL fragment and never reaches our servers — there is no plaintext copy of the credential anywhere for an attacker to find later.
