Password Pusher: March 2025
There are a lot of updates since the last newsletter so I’ve tried to keep it brief and added as many screenshots as possible so you can just scan through to find what’s important to you.
What’s New on pwpush.com
Pro Users: Add a favicon to your custom domain
The favicon is the tiny icon shown in browser tabs and in bookmarks.
This branding works nicely when sending links too:
You can now Name (and Edit) your Pushes & Requests
Need to add more views, update the reference note or something similar? The new editing ability will help.
Requests: Include User Details
When you send a request to a user, you now have the option to include your user details (name & company) in the created request.
The user details look something like this:
IPs in Audit Logs now link to iplocation.io
Push & Request delivery pages now support dark mode
This was an oversight that this wasn’t supported before. Thanks to those who reported the issue!
What’s New in the Open Source Edition / Self-Hosted
New Expiring File Download Links
Did you know that files attached to pushes are inaccessible without the “generated-on-the-fly” download links?
What’s more is that these download links automatically expire 5 minutes from creation.
File based pushes now shows this expiration countdown on the push delivery page.
New CLI Tools to Manage Administrators
Need to add a new administrator to access the Admin Dashboard?
This whole process is far simpler now with the bundled CLI tools. See the documentation here.
IPs in Audit Logs now link to iplocation.io
Find out who is visiting your pushes using iplocation.io.
Push Delivery in Dark Mode
This was an oversight that this wasn’t supported before. Thanks to those who reported the issue!
New /up healthcheck endpoint
Point your health checks here for an easy and lightweight monitoring endpoint.
API: New /api/v1/version.json Endpoint
Writing an integration using the JSON API? Easily know which version and edition of Password Pusher you are talking to with this new endpoint.
This is now being used by the great PassPushPosh tool (by Adam Burley) which is integrated with CIPP - The Cyberdrain Improved Partner Portal.
Thanks to Adam for pointing out the need and requesting this new API endpoint!
Other OSS Fixes, Updates & Improvements
Updated & improved light/dark theme switcher
Many Dark theme improvements across various themes.
New PWP__LOGIN_SESSION_TIMEOUT configuration option.
Docker arm64 platform support halted (temporarily) due to a build tool bug (amd64 still builds as normal)
Accounts now lock after 10 failed login attempts
As always, constant and on-going dependency & security updates.
Documentation
JSON API: Examples for 14 Programming Languages
I’ll confess this without remorse: This was all AI generated but I tested more than a few and the quality is high.
See the documentation here.
Hopefully this helps the community to get up and running quicker with the API.
