A Host Dada tool

Send a password as a link that works once.

Passwords sent by email or chat stay there forever. Send one through here instead and it’s destroyed the moment it’s read — with a timestamp telling you exactly when that happened.

Free to use · You’ll need to confirm your email address before sending

How it works

  1. 1

    Paste your secret

    A password, an API key, a licence code — anything text. Choose how long the link should live for.

  2. 2

    Share the link

    Copy it, or let us email it for you. The email says who it’s from, so the recipient knows it’s genuine.

  3. 3

    It’s read once, then gone

    The moment it’s opened, the secret is destroyed and the link stops working. You get a timestamp showing exactly when.

Sending a password by email

  • • Sits in two mailboxes indefinitely
  • • Copied into every backup and archive
  • • Synced to phones and laptops you don’t control
  • • Forwarded on without you ever knowing
  • • No way to tell whether it was read, or by whom

Sending it through here

  • ✓ Encrypted, with the key held only in the link
  • ✓ Destroyed the instant it’s read
  • ✓ Destroyed at expiry even if nobody opens it
  • ✓ Revocable right up until it’s opened
  • ✓ Timestamped, so you know exactly when it was collected

Common questions

Why not just send a password by email?
Because it stays there. Inboxes get archived, backed up, synced to phones and forwarded on. A one-time link removes the secret from the conversation as soon as it’s been read.
Can you read what I send?
No. Secrets are encrypted with a key derived from the link itself, and that key is never stored. Without the link, there is nothing in our database to read — including for us.
What if nobody opens it?
It’s destroyed when it expires, whether it was read or not. You choose the lifetime — anything from an hour to 30 days.
What if I send it to the wrong person?
Revoke it from your dashboard. As long as it hasn’t been opened yet, the secret is destroyed immediately.
How do I know it arrived?
Your dashboard lists every link you’ve sent and the exact time it was opened. We’ll also email you the moment it happens.
