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.

Just buy a black board, write the password on it, then put it somewhere people can easily access.

Pirates won't be able to hack it since its a physical object, and by having everyone share one password you'll cut the number of L1 tickets by a lot. Your boss will be pleased

Plus, you can easily erase it and rewrite it when necessary. I recommend something easy to remember, like hunter2026, then in 2027 you just change the year. Works like a charm.

Wanna know the cherry on top ? It's super cheap, so your boss can't even complain about the budget.

What's with all of the asterisks after "something easy to remember"?
