Stop Texting Passwords — Use passpass.co Instead

21 Feb 2026

We've all been there — a colleague asks for the Wi-Fi password, a client needs login credentials, or you're onboarding a new team member who needs access to a shared account. What do you do? Most of us fall back on the same risky habits: texting it, emailing it, or dropping it in a Slack message.

The problem? Those messages stick around forever. Sitting in inboxes, chat logs, and notification centers — waiting to be found by the wrong person.

That's why we built passpass.co — a dead-simple way to share passwords that self-destruct after being read.

How It Works

passpass.co is designed to be as simple as possible. No accounts, no apps to install, no setup. Here's the entire flow:

  1. Enter your password — Type or paste the secret you need to share.
  2. Get a link and PIN — passpass generates a unique URL and a 4-digit PIN.
  3. Send them to your recipient — Share the link through one channel and the PIN through another for extra security.
  4. They view it once — Your recipient clicks the link, enters the PIN, and sees the password.
  5. It's gone forever — The password is permanently deleted. No trace left behind.

Security You Don't Have to Think About

Under the hood, passpass takes security seriously:

  • AES encryption — Passwords are encrypted at rest using industry-standard AES encryption. They're never stored in plain text.
  • PIN protection — Even if someone intercepts the link, they can't see the password without the PIN. Three wrong PIN attempts and the password is permanently destroyed.
  • Auto-destruct — Every password expires after 24 hours, even if no one views it. Once viewed, it's deleted within minutes.
  • No context — Passwords are never linked to a username, account, or website. Even if somehow intercepted, it's just a random string with zero context.
  • HTTPS only — All data is transmitted over encrypted connections.

Why Not Just Use a Password Manager?

Password managers are great for storing your own passwords. But they're not designed for the quick, one-off sharing that happens dozens of times a day in businesses — sending a staging server password to a contractor, sharing streaming credentials with a family member, or passing API keys to a teammate.

passpass.co fills that gap. It's not replacing your password manager — it's the secure way to get a password from point A to point B.

Perfect for QR Code Workflows

If you're already using qrdex.io to share links via QR codes, passpass fits right into your workflow. Generate a secure passpass link, encode it as a QR code, and print or display it. Great for:

  • Office Wi-Fi — Put a QR code on the wall that links to a passpass with the password (refresh it periodically).
  • Event credentials — Share access codes with attendees without broadcasting them.
  • Onboarding packets — Include secure credential links in printed or digital welcome materials.

Free, No Account Required

passpass.co is completely free to use. No signup, no account creation, no email required. Just go to passpass.co, share a password, and move on with your day.

It's built by Bluejay Labs — the same team behind qrdex.io, businesscards.io, and htmlsig.com. We build simple, focused tools that solve real problems.

Stop texting passwords. Start using passpass.co.
