Share secrets securely with one-time links
1time
Share one-time secrets with encrypted, self-destructing links
About 1time
1time creates one-time links for sharing a password, API key or file with exactly one person, once. Secrets are encrypted in your browser with AES-256-GCM and the decryption key lives only in the link fragment, so the server never sees plaintext; after the allowed number of views, one by default, the secret is permanently deleted. Text secrets can allow three, five or ten views, files can be up to 250 MB, and no signup is required.
