The actual experience

A small handover. A clear finish.

See the actual share-and-reveal journey using fictional data. All steps work without watching the optional walkthrough.

  1. Step 1

    Create a link.

    Paste the value, choose an expiry and create a one-time link. Send that link through a channel you trust.

  2. Step 2

    Reveal it once.

    The recipient opens the link and deliberately chooses Reveal Secret. A passphrase is required if one was set.

    Vault displays the fictional demonstration value after the recipient chooses to reveal it.

  3. Step 3

    No second reveal.

    On a second visit, the same link is unavailable. One-time access does not stop someone copying or saving a value after seeing it.

    Vault shows Secret unavailable when the same demo link is visited again.

How it fits your work

Set the terms of the handover.

01

Choose the expiry.

Pick 1 hour, 24 hours or 7 days. An unused link becomes unavailable when its expiry is reached.

02

Add a passphrase.

If you set a passphrase, the recipient must enter it before the value is revealed. Share it separately from the link.

Before we start

Useful answers.

Does anyone need an account?

The public share/request interface opens without sign-in. Anyone holding a valid share link can attempt a reveal; a passphrase-protected link also needs the passphrase.

How is secret content protected?

Stored secret content is encrypted on the server using AES-256-GCM. The service decrypts it to deliver the value; this is not an end-to-end or zero-knowledge claim. Protect links and use the optional passphrase where appropriate.

Can the recipient keep a copy?

Yes. One-time describes retrieval from Vault. It cannot prevent copying, saving or photographing a value after it has been revealed.

Is this a password manager?

Vault is designed for a time-limited handover, rather than a long-term credential catalogue. Team deployment, notification delivery and integration requirements should be agreed separately.
