Ask HN: How to safely share passwords with normal users online

6 pointsby oseibonsualmost 4 years ago
I thought this would be simple, but how do you safely share passwords with normal users online. Services like 1Password require that you create a guest user with a vault. I'd like to use something that is SOC2 compliant. And it seems like if I wanted to use something like OneTimeSecret https://github.com/onetimesecret/onetimesecret I'd have to host it myself to be sure it was safe. What do you guys use?

I&#x27;m not sure about SOC2 compliance, but I&#x27;d be surprised if it&#x27;s compliant for you to be generating user&#x27;s passwords for them. Users should be the only person to know their password.<p>You could email out a password that only allows the user to change their password, nothing else. Their account won&#x27;t be accessible until they choose and set their own password. If the initial password is intercepted it doesn&#x27;t matter (probably, depends on your app) because the account won&#x27;t have any user data in it yet.

Bitwarden [0] released a product called Bitwarden Send [1] a couple months ago. Basically, this product helps you to send sensitive information directly to anyone. The information is encrypted end-to-end. Beside that, you can specify expiry time, deletion date, and a password to open your information. It fits with your use case.<p>[0]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bitwarden.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bitwarden.com</a><p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bitwarden.com&#x2F;products&#x2F;send&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bitwarden.com&#x2F;products&#x2F;send&#x2F;</a>

I&#x27;ve used Privnote[0] to easily and quickly send self-destructing text-only notes with sensitive information to users both technical and not. Their privacy policy[1] explains how the information is kept safe.<p>[0]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;privnote.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;privnote.com</a> [1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;privnote.com&#x2F;info&#x2F;privacy" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;privnote.com&#x2F;info&#x2F;privacy</a>
