Burn After Link’s one-time secret handoff
A browser-encrypted tool for sending passwords, API keys, recovery codes, and private notes through links that expire or burn after reading.
Field notes
The page offers first-read links alongside one-hour and 24-hour links, with a stated 4,000-character limit. Its described privacy model keeps the decryption key in the URL fragment while the server receives ciphertext and an initialization vector. The service also calls out an operational hazard often omitted from secret-sharing tools: automated link scanners may behave like recipients, so first-read links are not suitable for every delivery channel.
