Keep passwords.
Share them once.

For IT teams, MSPs, and professional firms: a password keeper for your whole team, and the safe way to hand a password to someone else, a one-time link that destroys itself after it's read. All of it is encrypted in your browser, so we can't read any of it.

Squawk Keeper, the password keeper, is in beta on the Business plan and turned on by request. The people you send links to never need an account.

Squawk Keeper, in beta

A password keeper only your team can open

Keep logins, cards, API keys, Wi-Fi passwords, and notes in one place, with the six-digit authenticator codes beside them. Share a folder with the teammates who need it, and keep it when someone leaves. Everything is encrypted in your browser with a passphrase we never see, so we can’t read it and neither can an admin who isn’t in the folder.

Squawk Keeper is in beta on the Business plan. Ask us and we’ll turn it on for your organization. How it works

Browser extension

Signs you in, and remembers new logins

The Squawk Keeper extension for Microsoft Edge fills your username and password on the sites you have saved, fills a saved card at checkout, copies the authenticator code, and offers to save a login the first time you use it. Bring everything over from LastPass, 1Password, Bitwarden, Proton Pass, Dashlane, NordPass, KeePass, or your browser in one step.

Every password sent by email is still sitting in two mailboxes, a backup, and a search index. Squawk Secret shares it once, and then it's gone for good.

How it works

Every password, note, or file you send is a squawk: a one-time link that erases itself after it's read.

  1. 1

    Paste it in

    A password, a license key, a note, or up to 10 files. Choose how many times it can be opened and when it expires, from one hour to thirty days.

  2. 2

    Send the link

    Copy it into a ticket or chat, or have Squawk Secret email it for you. Add a passphrase if you want a second factor, shared another way.

  3. 3

    It's read, then destroyed

    When the view limit is reached or time runs out, the encrypted data is wiped. Anyone who finds the link later gets nothing.

Send

Hand over credentials without leaving a trail

New-user passwords, Wi-Fi keys, admin logins, recovery codes, files that shouldn't be forwarded. Get an email the moment your squawk is opened, and see every attempt in the audit trail.

Request

Collect passwords, files, and forms from clients

Send a request link and your client replies with text and files. On Business, add an intake form with typed signatures, or send a real fillable PDF like a W-9. Responses are encrypted in the client's browser, and only your team can open them. No more "just email it to me."

Squawk Drop

A secure drop page, open anytime

Give clients one page where they can send your team passwords, documents, and information whenever they need to, up to 2 GB at a time. Limit it to approved senders and get a notice when something arrives. Set up as many as 10, such as one for tax documents and one for HR, and choose who on your team can open each.

Secure chats

Conversations that erase themselves

When a handoff needs back-and-forth, open an end-to-end encrypted chat with your client: messages, masked credentials, and files. Add a teammate as co-host. When it closes, it's erased for everyone.

Squawk Guard

Stops passwords before they’re emailed

When someone clicks Send on an email containing a password, card number, Social Security number, bank number, or key, Outlook pauses and offers to send it as a one-time link instead. Open an email that arrived with something sensitive in it and the panel says so, and moves the email and its attachments into your Squawk Vault in one step so you can delete it. The check runs inside Outlook on their own computer. In Teams, a message like that gets an instant warning with a way to send it securely.

Squawk Back

Know who’s really on the phone

Before a password reset, send a code to the email or phone on file. They squawk it back to you or tap “Yes, it’s me,” and your screen shows Verified. Or prove it’s really IT calling: they get a code from your organization, and you read the same code to them.

Outlook and Teams

Right where your team already works

Insert a one-time link, send files from your computer or turn attachments into a secure link, or ask for files without leaving Outlook. In Teams, send a secret or a request from any chat. Your admin installs both at once.

Don’t open until

Send now, open later

Send a new hire’s credentials on Friday that open at 8 AM on their first day, or an announcement that opens the moment it’s public. Until then the link shows a countdown and nothing is used up.

Built for individuals, families, IT teams, and MSPs

Use it on your own with Individual, or share Family with up to 5 people, each with their own private account. Business puts your whole company on one account: invite technicians, make someone an admin, and remove people when they leave, with access ending immediately, not at the next login.

For professional firms

Confidential client communication, without the email trail

Secure intake forms and fillable PDFs, a drop page for client documents, and encrypted chats that erase themselves.

First-day passwords, sent automatically

When your onboarding system creates a new account, it can call Squawk Secret to generate the password and email the new hire a one-time link. No more passwords in tickets, texts, or sticky notes, and nobody has to remember to send them.

Works with Active Directory scripts, Microsoft Power Automate and Entra lifecycle workflows, Okta Workflows, Zapier, Make, and HR systems like BambooHR, Rippling, and Gusto. Webhooks tell your system when the password has been opened.

See the API and examples

POST /api/v1/squawks
{
  "generate_password": true,
  "email_to": ["new.hire@example.com"],
  "reference": "EMP-1042"
}

{
  "id": "sqk_3f9a...",
  "password": "k7Q!mR2x...",
  "emailed": ["new.hire@example.com"]
}

When Squawk Secret is not the right fit

You need to run it on your own servers. Squawk Secret is a hosted service. Password Pusher and One-Time Secret are open source and can be self-hosted.

You only need a free, quick one-time text link. One-Time Secret’s free service does that simply. Squawk Secret has no free plan.

You are outside the United States. Accounts need a US address, US mobile number, and US payment card. The people you send to can be anywhere.

Encrypted, and then erased

Each squawk is end-to-end encrypted in your browser with AES-256-GCM, using its own random 256-bit key. That key lives only in the link you share, after the # where browsers never send it to a server. We never see it, so neither we nor anyone who breached us could read your squawks. When a squawk is used up or expires, the encrypted data is wiped too.
