Every team shares passwords at some point — Wi-Fi credentials for a new hire, API keys for a staging server, login details for a shared account, root passwords during an incident. And too often, these are sent in plain text via Slack, email, or a sticky note.

This tool lets you encrypt passwords and credentials in your browser before sharing them. The encrypted text is embedded in a URL that you can paste into any messaging tool. Only someone who knows the agreed-upon passphrase can decrypt it. Nothing is stored on any server.

Features

AES-256 Encryption

Credentials are encrypted with the same standard used by banks and government agencies. Unbreakable with current technology.

Works in Any Channel

Share the encrypted URL via Slack, Teams, email, or any messaging tool. The password stays protected regardless of the channel.

No Server Involvement

Encryption runs in your browser. No credentials are ever transmitted to or stored on any server.

How It Works

1
Enter the credentials

Type or paste the password, API key, or other sensitive credential you need to share.

2
Set a team passphrase

Use a passphrase your team already knows, or agree on one through a secure channel.

3
Encrypt

Click encrypt to generate a shareable URL with the encrypted credentials inside.

4
Share in your team chat

Paste the encrypted link in Slack, Teams, or email. Team members enter the passphrase to reveal the credentials.

Why Your Team Should Encrypt Shared Credentials

A data breach is rarely dramatic. More often, it starts with a password sitting in a Slack message from six months ago, a plaintext API key in an email thread, or a shared Google Doc titled "Passwords" with no access controls. Every plaintext password in a messaging platform is a liability waiting to be exploited.

Encrypting credentials before sharing them eliminates this risk. Even if your Slack workspace is compromised, an email account is hacked, or a laptop is stolen, the encrypted URLs are useless without the passphrase. This is defense in depth — protecting the data itself, not just the channel.

For teams that share credentials frequently, establish a standing passphrase that the whole team knows. Rotate it periodically. For one-time shares (like giving a contractor temporary access), use a unique passphrase communicated verbally or by phone.
