Secure Self Destruct Messages
Share highly confidential information securely using time-limited self-destructing messages designed for enterprise environments.
Secure Self Destruct Messages for Enterprises
Passwordstate includes a built-in Self Destruct Messaging portal that allows organizations to securely share highly confidential information such as passwords, credentials, or sensitive instructions. Messages are only stored encrypted within the database and are automatically removed once the configured viewing limits or expiration time has been reached.
This capability enables IT teams to securely share information with contractors, partners, or employees who may not have direct access to Passwordstate while maintaining full control, auditing, and expiration of the shared data.
Controlled Secure Sharing
Self Destruct Messages allow administrators and authorized users to define exactly how long shared information remains available and how many times it can be viewed.
- Define a configurable Time to Live (TTL) for each message.
- Limit the number of times the content can be viewed.
- Protect messages with an additional passphrase for added security.
- Receive notification when the message has been accessed.
Secure Credential Sharing
Safely provide contractors or third parties with temporary access to credentials without granting full access to your Passwordstate environment.
Granular Access Control
Self Destruct Messages are permission-based and can be restricted to authorized users who are permitted to share sensitive information from password records.
How Self Destruct Messaging Works
Create the Message
Define the message content to be shared.
Set Security Controls
Configure the Time to Live, viewing limits, and optional passphrase protection before sending.
Recipient Accesses Securely
The recipient opens the secure link, and views the information within the controlled portal.
Message Self Destructs
Once the viewing limit or expiry period is reached, the message is no longer accessible and the activity remains audited.
Flexible Deployment Options
Organizations can deploy the Self Destruct Messaging portal in multiple ways depending on their security architecture and internet exposure requirements.
Embedded Portal
The Self Destruct Messaging portal can run directly within your Passwordstate website, enabling secure sharing within internal networks or environments where the Passwordstate interface is accessible.
DMZ Push / Pull Deployment
A secure push/pull implementation allows messages to be delivered to a Self Destruct portal hosted in a DMZ using a SQLite database, without requiring direct connectivity to the Passwordstate server.
AppServer Deployment
Organizations already using the Passwordstate AppServer can expose the Self Destruct Messaging portal through the AppServer hosted in a DMZ while securely communicating with the Passwordstate database.
Auditing and Notifications
All Self Destruct Message activity is fully audited, and senders receive confirmation when recipients access the message.
