## What it is
Password Pusher is an open-source Ruby web application for securely sharing passwords, text, files, and URLs via encrypted, self-deleting links that expire after a set number of views or duration. It includes full audit logging, a JSON API, an admin dashboard, multilingual support, and can be self-hosted via Docker or used as a hosted service.

## Use cases
- share a password securely without sending it over email or chat
- send sensitive credentials that expire after one view
- self-host a secret sharing tool for my team
- create one-time links for sharing files and URLs
- track who viewed a shared secret and when
- generate secure upload links to receive sensitive files from customers
- share secrets with an API for automation

## When to choose
- you need to transmit passwords or secrets without leaving copies in email or chat logs
- you want self-hosted control over secret sharing with audit trails
- you need expiring, one-time links with optional passphrases
- you want a JSON API and CLI/extension ecosystem for integrating secret sharing into workflows

## When to avoid
- you need a full password manager for storing many credentials long-term
- you require enterprise features like SSO, file sharing, or custom domains without a paid Pro edition
- you cannot operate a server and the free hosted tier's limits are too restrictive
