 Tom here from Lauren systems and bit warden has added a really cool new feature that I'm pretty excited about called bit warden send Now I'm a big fan of bit warden We've been using it here at the office for a while as for password management. It's been a wonderful tool I'll leave links to my full more in-depth reviews of bit warden now of note We do privately host bit warden behind a VPN, which means this particular Feature will have to log into the public site to do but that's okay Because the idea of this is be able to send someone a password or a file and get it to them securely and an encrypted manner Even when they don't have bit warden on the receiving end now quick prerequisite for this You need a bit warden account to send to do this, but you don't need it on the receiving end So whoever you're sending to they don't have to do anything more than be able to click a link And they were able to get to the data that you send them and we'll give a demo of how this works now It does allow for free bit warden accounts You can sign up for free for bit warden just register your email address and with the free account You can send text if you want to send a file that does require a pay bit warden account So it's only prerequisites for this and a lot of times people just want to be able to get passwords over or some Piece of text that they want to get to an end user Maybe some rather sensitive instructions and you don't want those necessarily just going out over an email You know you want to send these in an encrypted manner now This is bit warden send, but I will mention and Chris coincidentally Bitwarden send was coming out and I want to do a video on it But Chris also did a video on password pusher works very much the same way and has a self-hosted option So check out Chris's video on press password pusher. I also am aware of and have used yo pass I just like the name better It's kind of another project very similar to password pusher and I'll leave links to it because it's definitely pretty cool And once again, it's another open-source project that you can build and host yourself I really like the fact that bit warden is a professional company that we do pay for and use the licenses to use it commercially and Having a more professional way to send this than using yo pass although. I love the name Feels a little bit more integrated Of course, you can integrate those other tools into your own domain Which may be a good idea too if you're looking at doing that, but The simplicity of doing it bit warden. Let's show you how it works. It's actually really easy So I'm logged into my bit more and account. There's a new button up here It just says send and we create a send and we'll create a text one first. So we're gonna call it my text well test send Call it whatever you want Here is the text to keep secret So don't share that with anyone when accessing this send hide the text by default Yes, that way they got a you know, not just click the link but actually open it Copy the link of this send to my clipboard upon save. Yes, absolutely Deletion how long should this last or expire now if you change this to Custom or you want to only have this last or delete after so many days, but expire never You can also say expire now or if set accesses and will expire Which means it will still exist as a send but it won't have a valid link anymore. You'll have to regenerate the link I like that they separated these things out versus deleted versus expiration a lot of times It's a timely thing. So you're usually going I need to get this to the person and we'll say I need this to last a day on either side Just delete this or we can just say never on expire because it's gonna delete anyways How many times can it be accessed? Get it right the first time is something probably important So we're gonna put maximum ask access count of one I think this is also important because when you're sending someone something and you only want that someone to get it Once they get it, you don't want them to get it again. So save it and if they don't well They'll contact you again, but this is better than not having a maximum where anyone else who finds that link and then Consequently, maybe gets that password that you put on there is You know able to get it again. So we'll make a password of one two three four five six So I like the fact that you can add an extra password on there Don't share this with anyone Whoops with anyone. There we go So there's some note that they'll get and then we hit save Now that copied it right to my clipboard, but then I can always go back over here and I can remove the password from it or copy this on link again So I'm able to edit it I'm able to go back in here and see it myself because I'm logged into my bit warden account There's that send link. So let's go ahead and open up an incognito window and The person, you know, you email them this link they get it Bitward and send. All right, they got to put a password in There we go one two three four five six The seven toggle okay toggle. All right. I'm ready. No one's looking over my shoulder. No one's shoulder sure from it All right, we toggle visibility Here is the text to keep secret copy that value They can just copy it and now they have that piece of information is simple as that. So let's go ahead and Take the send and we'll close this window Let's try in a Copy send link again It's dead. We only allowed it to be accessed once now the access count is zero so to speak because it's now counted down and says nope someone access that data You can't send it and if we go here to our test then the data is still here If I wanted to revive it for any reason I can but we have a deletion date of when it's going to Automatically go away. I got the data to them. They said they got it I can just delete it out of here or you know Re-initiated again because somewhere somewhere in between someone clicked on it and then had the password Which of course should just raise a whole lot of suspicion All right now Let's go ahead and show you what it looks like when you send a file and like I said to send a file you do need Paid version of it word File test choose file this pfsense console dot sh document seems suspicious. Maybe that's our proof of concept for something All right, we'll go here deletion date one hour you got one hour to get this maximum access count Same thing we'll do one and we'll put a password on Same password one two three four five six here is that file you wanted and Oh copy link to the clipboard saves me the trouble save All right send created open up any tag Nito window drop that link in One two three four five six download Yeah, yeah, I know it could harm my computer it says so we have now downloaded that file if we Open up another incognito window and same thing because we only allowed at once can't open it again So it works much the same way so now we've been able to get that file the person was able to access it and Done it's as simple as that current access count zero now If you set this it'll tell you like what the number of access count left is the only extra thing I think it'd be kind of cool and maybe let add this in the future dates I didn't see it in here would be a way to let me know what IP address had accessed it Maybe some you know browser information IP address of when I sent this out, you know who actually touched it I think that'd be kind of a cool So if someone's listening over there or maybe I'll go do a poll request and say hey, you know be cool If you added this feature That's the only thing I really see that it's kind of missing right now But other than that I do like that it's just natively integrated in bit warden And I know a lot more people have been migrating to it or at least based on the comments I'd say a lot more people are migrating a bit warden it seems to become rather popular and I still really like the product and this is just one more little piece of innovation that they added that well, you know I'm definitely excited for because sending people passwords is Not the most fun part of it but certainly a very necessary part of it passwords Some instructions some piece of information and keeping that information private the entire way and not sending things in email because I look at email is just mailing a letter like anyone can see through it. It's very transparent I know the the encryption layers are Existing an email in terms of the transport layer from getting here to here But there's still a lot of visibility in email and it's not the best methodology It was never really designed to be encrypted So being able to send an email with a link like this in there makes a whole lot more sense and So definitely welcome tool and go ahead and check it out It's just free add on a bit warden that you don't have to do anything for just log in.
