Share Database Credentials Securely
Share database hosts, usernames, and passwords through encrypted links that expire automatically.
The problem
Database credentials shared via Slack or email expose your entire data layer. Connection strings often include host, port, username, and password in a single string — one leak grants direct database access. These messages persist in searchable history long after the credential was needed.
How Vaulted helps
Vaulted encrypts your database credentials in the browser with AES-256-GCM and generates a self-destructing link. Once the recipient views it, the link expires. The encryption key is embedded in the URL fragment, which is never sent to the server, ensuring true zero-knowledge protection.
How to do it
- Paste your connection string or credentials into Vaulted
- Set how many times the link can be viewed and when it expires
- Share the link with your teammate or contractor
- They decrypt and copy the credentials, then the link self-destructs
