Signed. Sealed. Delivered. Gone.
One Time Secret lets you share passwords, API keys, and sensitive information through links that self-destruct after being viewed. Instead of sending secrets through email or chat where copies pile up forever, you get a single-use URL that disappears the moment it's opened. It's a simple way to keep private information truly private.
What makes One Time Secret worth launching.
Every secret link works exactly once — after the recipient views it, the message is permanently deleted from the system.
Set how long your secret stays available, from minutes to days, so it automatically expires even if never viewed.
Add an extra layer of security by requiring a passphrase that only you and your recipient know.
Create and share secrets instantly without signing up — perfect for quick, one-off exchanges.
Share your one-time link through email, Slack, text, WhatsApp, or any channel — the link reveals nothing about the content.
Integrate secret sharing into your workflows with a full API for programmatic access.
If you fit one of these, One Time Secret is probably built for you.
Practical scenarios where One Time Secret makes a real difference.
Share temporary passwords and account credentials with new employees without leaving sensitive info sitting in onboarding emails.
Send API keys and database passwords to your team during credential rotation without exposing them in Slack or chat logs.
Pass along client portal logins and project access codes to consultants and contractors without leaving a paper trail.
Send settlement terms, account numbers, or case details with one-time access controls that protect privilege and confidentiality.
One Time Secret is a straightforward tool for sharing sensitive information the right way. You type in a password, API key, or any private text, and it creates a unique link that can only be viewed once. After the recipient opens it, the message is permanently deleted — no copies, no recovery, no trace. You can set an expiration time and even add a passphrase for extra protection. Created by Delano in 2011 and backed by an active open-source community, it's trusted by IT teams, HR departments, and legal professionals who need to send sensitive data without leaving a trail. No technical skills required — just paste your text, get your link, and share it.
One Time Secret solves a simple but widespread problem: when you send passwords and private links through email or chat, copies end up everywhere — your sent folder, their inbox, and your providers' servers. One Time Secret replaces that with a single-use link that can only be viewed once, then disappears forever. IT admins use it to share production credentials, HR teams use it for onboarding, and legal professionals use it for confidential communications. People love it because it does one thing and does it well, with no complicated setup and no account needed for simple sharing.
