Hand over a password, then let it go.
For freelancers and IT: send a login, an API key or a recovery code as a link that opens once, then is destroyed.
Send a passwordWhy not email it?
Email is built to keep things: your sent folder, their inbox, both servers, every backup. A password sent that way outlives the project.
How it works
- Paste the password or key. Add a passphrase and say it on a call.
- Send the link by email or chat as usual. What stays behind is a dead link, not the password.
- The client opens it once and copies it. You see when, and can destroy an unopened link.
What we can see
Nothing you wrote. It is encrypted in your browser under a key that lives only in the link, after the #, which browsers never send to a server. Once opened or expired, our copy is destroyed.
Good to know
Have the client store it in their password manager straight away. This is the only time it can be read.
Up to 4,000 characters, so a key file's contents fit. Five wrong passphrase guesses destroy it.
