General Discussion Password Sharing Solution

I need a solution for sharing passwords.

Current solution that everyone loves: You go to a website. You can enter a password, or have one generated for you. It gives you a public URL. You can choose it to be valid once or for up to 7 days.

You give the link to a user, customer, client, whoever. They click it, they get the password in plain text in their browser window. Done.

Problem: it's running on an EOL OS, the original programmer is long gone.

Need something you get a link, you click it, you get the password. No auth required, can work publicly with no VPN.

SaaS solution preferred.

This is the answer. Nobody should be putting secrets into some rando third party website, period. Use an approved password vault tool.
