Authenticated Recipients — Email Verification for Secret Links
An announcement from Password Pusher Pro.
Back to What's New
New
You can now require recipients to verify their email before viewing a secret.
When creating a push with Auto-Dispatch recipients, enable Require Email Verification. Recipients must enter their email and a 6-digit one-time code before the payload is revealed.
How it works:
- Recipient opens the secret link and enters their email
- If the email matches the allowlist, a one-time code is sent
- Recipient enters the code to unlock the secret
- Non-matching emails see the same interface but receive no code — no information leakage
Security details:
- Codes are hashed, single-use, and rate-limited
- Failed attempts don't burn view counts
- Signed cookies prevent replay after verification
- Stacks with passphrases for defense-in-depth
- Works for both pushes and requests
- Full audit trail of verification events
Account admins can set defaults, enforce verification on all pushes, or leave it as a per-push decision under Policy settings.
Available now for Premium, Pro, and Enterprise plans. Coming to Self-Hosted Pro in the next release.
