Secure Self Destruct Messages
Securely share passwords, credentials and other sensitive information 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 and sensitive instructions. Messages are stored encrypted and are automatically removed once the configured viewing limit or expiration time has been reached.
This capability enables organizations to securely share passwords, credentials and other sensitive information with contractors, partners or employees who do not have direct access to Passwordstate, while maintaining expiration controls, auditing and optional passphrase protection.
Controlled Secure Sharing
Self Destruct Messages allow administrators and authorized users to define 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.
- Receive a notification when the message has been accessed.
Temporary Secure Sharing
Provide contractors, partners or other third parties with temporary access to sensitive information without granting direct access to your Passwordstate environment.
Permission-Based Sharing
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 password, credential or sensitive information that needs to be shared.
Set Security Controls
Configure the Time to Live, viewing limits and optional passphrase protection before sharing the message.
Recipient Opens the Link
The recipient opens the secure link and views the information through the controlled Self Destruct Messaging portal.
Message Self Destructs
Once the viewing limit or expiration period is reached, the message is no longer available 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, supporting secure sharing in 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 Messaging portal hosted in a DMZ using a SQLite database, without requiring direct connectivity to the Passwordstate server.
AppServer Deployment
Organizations using the Passwordstate AppServer can expose the Self Destruct Messaging portal through an AppServer hosted in a DMZ while securely communicating with the Passwordstate database.
Auditing and Notifications
Self Destruct Message activity is audited, and senders can receive confirmation when recipients access the shared message.
