How to Send Password Securely using Mastiff Password Pusher
Sending passwords over email or text may seem easy, but it leaves a permanent record that could be exposed if those messages are ever compromised. With Password Pusher, we avoid that risk by creating secure, one-time links that automatically expire after use. This way, sensitive information isn’t left sitting in inboxes or chat histories. To send your username and password securely, just follow these steps:
- Send us the username via email or text.
- Enter the password you want to share into the password field.
- Set expiration options:
- Expire after 1 day
- Limit to 1 view
- Enable additional security settings by checking:
- ✅ “Use a 1-click retrieval step”
- ✅ “Allow immediate deletion”
- Add a passphrase to protect the download link (remember and copy this passphrase).
- Click “Push It” to generate the secure link.
- Copy the link or QR code and share it with the us.
- Send the passphrase and the link separately using different communication methods.
- Example: Send the passphrase via text message and the link via email.
Sending Multiple Passwords
When sharing more than one credential, create a separate Password Pusher link for each password. This ensures that if one link is compromised, only that single account is affected.
Steps:
- For each password, create a new Password Pusher entry using the same security settings: - Expire after 1 day - Limit to 1 view - Enable: ✅ 1-click retrieval step and ✅ Allow immediate deletion - Add a unique passphrase for each link
- Send the usernames via text in the following format (one per message to avoid confusion):
- username1: (username)
- username2: (username)
- Send the secure links via email. To keep them clearly matched to the right usernames, use the following subject format:
- Subject: username1 link
- Subject: username2 link
- Send the passphrases separately via text, one per message, using the format:
- passphrase1: (passphrase)
- passphrase2: (passphrase)
Example Flow:
- Text 1 → username1: admin01
- Text 2 → username2: staff02
- Text 3 → passphrase1: apple-92-giraffe
- Text 4 → passphrase2: river-33-gorgeous
- Email 1 → Subject: username1 link (contains link for admin01’s password)
- Email 2 → Subject: username2 link (contains link for staff02’s password)
