Password Pusher: April 2026

OSS v2; Self-Hosted Pro, New Features & Partner Program

Password Pusher: April 2026

Hello to the great Password Pusher community!

There has been a lot of progress since the January 2026 newsletter, so here is the rundown.


Self-Hosted Pro is now publicly available

The biggest milestone is complete: Self-Hosted Password Pusher Pro is now generally available.

This is every Pro feature on pwpush.com that can now be self-hosted.

See the docs to get a sense of install process and day to day operations and details.

This release is the result of a lot of feedback from beta users and a lot of implementation work across licensing, deployment, billing, and documentation.

For teams waiting on this release: thank you for the patience and direct feedback throughout beta.

New Partner Program for MSPs and IT Services

The new Partner Program is now live.

If you resell infrastructure or security tooling, this program is designed to make Self-Hosted Pro easier to deliver to your customers:

  • Discounts start at 30% and increase with lifetime volume
  • Free NFR licensing is available for internal use
  • Built for MSP and multi-client operating models

Ongoing Self-Hosted Improvements

Recent updates include:

  • Local timezone display for dates and times
  • API v2 security updates and bug fixes
  • Team-member views no longer consuming push view limits (while still recording audit events)
  • Continued performance and security hardening

For operators, this should translate to cleaner day-to-day management and fewer surprises in audit and expiration behavior.


Password Pusher Pro on pwpush.com

The hosted platform continues to receive ongoing improvements, especially in stability, security, and billing/admin ergonomics.

Behind the scenes in recent production updates:

  • Expanded CSP and security hardening work
  • Query/indexing improvements and performance tuning
  • API v2 validation and behavior fixes
  • Billing/subscription and provisioning improvements for Self-Hosted Pro customers
  • Frequent language string updates

You can always watch product announcements here: What's New.


UI redesign for Pro - Feedback needed!

There is a UI redesign planned for pwpush.com and Self Hosted Pro. You're feedback will help us guide this to release.

Love it or hate it - let us know!

Open Source Password Pusher (GitHub)

Since January, open source has moved fast with a high release cadence, including the major v2.0.0 release and subsequent updates through v2.2.2.

Highlights from recent releases

  • v2.1.0: added user 2FA/TOTP support
  • v2.2.0: first-run onboarding and dark mode improvements
  • v2.2.2: UI improvements plus dependency and security updates

Also:

  • See the v2 upgrade guide.

Open source Docker images remain available for self-hosting and public gateway/worker setups:

  • pglombardo/pwpush
  • pglombardo/pwpush-public-gateway

What the community is asking for

Recent issues and discussions are centered around practical deployment and security needs:

  • 2FA (now delivered)
  • Webhook support for Requests (planned)
  • Custom/short URL support (coming)

If you also want these features or have other feature ideas, let us know. Please jump in on Issues and Discussions. Reactions and comments directly influence prioritization.


What’s Next

With such a small team, it's always a constant juggle but here are a few things in the pipeline, planned and currently being worked on:

  • pwpush.com SaaS: Expanded Team roles
  • OSS: Auto-dispatch - auto email push links to target recipients
  • OSS: 100GB+ Uploads with multipart HTTP uploads
  • All Editions: New password generator with passphrase support (and API)

Thank You

Password Pusher continues to be built in public, with open source at its core, now supported by hosted and self-hosted commercial editions.

I’m still the original maintainer, and today I run this with a small dedicated team at Apnotic. We’re focused on building something practical, stable, and security-first for the long run.

Password Pusher is now more than 15 years old, has shared over 100M secrets, and passed 74M+ Docker pulls. Every Pro subscription helps us keep shipping updates to both commercial editions and open source.

Thank you to everyone running Password Pusher in production, supporting through subscriptions, filing issues, and sharing feedback.
