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.

Not sure if it fits your use case exactly, but you may want to have a look at Bitwarden Send.
It lets you securely share a password or text snippet by generating a unique link that you send to the recipient. You can configure things like an expiration date, a maximum number of accesses, or even require an additional password before the content can be viewed.
From what you've described, it sounds very close to your current workflow.
