About SnapPwd
SnapPwd is a privacy-first security tool designed to solve the problem of "secret sprawl" in developer communications. Unlike traditional password managers which focus on long-term storage, SnapPwd focuses on ephemeral transmission.
It uses client-side encryption (AES-GCM) to ensure that secrets are encrypted in the browser before they ever reach the server. The server creates a temporary link but never holds the decryption key (which is part of the link hash fragment). Once viewed, the data is permanently deleted.
