Questions
Can Secret link read my secret?
No. Your browser encrypts the secret before it sends it. The key is in the part of the link after the # sign. Browsers never send that part to a server.
The server holds only encrypted data. Nobody at Secret link can read your secret.
What happens when a person opens the link?
The page shows a button. When the person presses it, the server gives the encrypted secret and deletes it at the same time. The page decrypts the secret in the browser.
The next person who opens the link sees that the secret is gone.
Does a link preview in a chat app delete the secret?
No. A preview only loads the page. The secret is deleted only when a person presses the button.
Should I add a passphrase?
A passphrase is a second lock. A person needs the link and the passphrase. Tell the passphrase to the person in another way, for example by phone.
