Use case
Door codes, Wi-Fi and alarm codes
Door codes, lockbox codes and alarm PINs tend to live forever in old text threads. Send them privately instead — and know exactly who you gave them to.
The situation
The Nguyens are going away for two weeks. Their neighbor’s teenager will feed the cat, so she needs the garage code, the alarm PIN and the Wi-Fi password. The usual way is a group text — which the whole family, a couple of cousins and every phone they own will keep long after the trip.
A text in the family group chat
- Everyone in the chat has the codes, for good
- Shows up in notifications on a lock screen
- Old phones get sold and handed down with threads intact
Sending them with Whisper
- Only the person you wrote to can open the message
- Share it through the family chat if you like — nobody else can read it
- Works on their phone even without installing an app
How it goes
Invite the house sitter once — in person the QR code is quickest — then send the codes whenever you need to. It looks like any other text:
MMrs. Nguyen
