Self Destructing Message

Credential handoff playbook

Send password securely

Passwords should not live forever in inboxes, ticket comments, or chat transcripts. A self-destructing encrypted link gives the recipient a short window to retrieve the secret and then removes the stored ciphertext.

Recommended handoff flow

A password should travel with an exit plan

1

Create the password in the system where it will be used.

2

Paste it into a self-destructing message and keep the default one-read expiry.

3

Use a separate channel for any extra password.

4

Ask the recipient to confirm access, then rotate or revoke temporary credentials.
