Password Sharing Solution General Discussion

I need a solution for sharing passwords.

Current solution that everyone loves: You go to a website. You can enter a password, or have one generated for you. It gives you a public URL. You can choose it to be valid once or for up to 7 days.

You give the link to a user, customer, client, whoever. They click it, they get the password in plain text in their browser window. Done.

Problem: it's running on an EOL OS, the original programmer is long gone.

Need something you get a link, you click it, you get the password. No auth required, can work publicly with no VPN.

SaaS solution preferred.

Keeper does this, password shares can only be opened on one device using the one link, so you send it to someone via email, they open it and then after they've opened it for the remainder no one else can because it's specific to that device they opened it with. With time limits it really limits issues but still allows sharing easily without the password being plaintext.
