  • PrivateBin

    A minimalist, open source online pastebin where the server has zero knowledge of pasted data. Data is encrypted/decrypted in the browser using 256 bits AES.

  • we're using a self-hosted instance of https://privatebin.info/ - with this tool you never store plaintext on your systems and the server doesn't see unencrypted paste contents.

  • PasswordPusher

    🔐 An application to securely communicate passwords over the web. Passwords automatically expire after a certain number of views and/or time has passed. Track who, what and when.

  • https://pwpush.com/ or use a self hosted instance of it, if your paranoid.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
