Introducing Secrets: Stop Sending Passwords and Sensitive Information in Slack and Email

Let's be honest. We've all done it. Texted a password to a coworker. Dropped API keys in Slack. Emailed login credentials with a casual "delete this after you read it" that no one ever does.

It works. Until it doesn't.

The Problem With "Just This Once"

That password you shared six months ago? It's still sitting in someone's email, searchable, waiting. That API key in the team chat? Backed up on three different devices now. Every shortcut becomes a liability hiding in plain sight.

We built Secrets because sensitive text deserves the same protection as sensitive files. And because "delete this after" isn't a security strategy.

How Secrets Works

Secrets gives you encrypted, expiring links for sharing sensitive text. Passwords. API keys. SSH credentials. Anything you'd normally whisper or write on a sticky note and immediately regret.

Drop in your text, set your options, share the link. That's it.

The person on the other end opens the link, sees the content, and then it's gone. Really gone. Not "archived somewhere" gone. Not "maybe still cached" gone. Actually gone.

Burn After Reading (For Real This Time)

Enable burn after reading and the secret self-destructs after one view. No second chances. No forwarding. No screenshots of a link that still works. One look, then nothing.

For less sensitive stuff, you can set view limits or expiration dates instead. The secret sticks around for a few days or a handful of views, then disappears on its own. No cleanup required.

Security Without the Settings Maze

Like everything in Hirosend, Secrets is secure by default. Your content is encrypted before it's stored. Each secret gets its own encryption key. Access attempts are rate-limited and logged.

You don't need to configure any of this. It just happens.

Want extra protection? Add a password. Want to limit who can access it? Restrict by email and we'll send them a magic link. Want both? That works too.

Who This Is For

Secrets is for anyone who's ever thought "I probably shouldn't send this through email, but..."

Developers sharing API keys with contractors. Agencies sending login credentials to clients. Teams onboarding new members who need access to a dozen different services. Anyone who's realized that writing passwords on paper and taking a photo isn't actually the secure workaround it feels like.

Share Secrets, Not Worries

Sensitive information deserves better than sitting in someone's inbox forever. Secrets gives you a simple, secure way to share what needs sharing, then lets it vanish when it's done.

No more "did you delete that?" messages. No more hoping everyone cleared their chat history. Just share it, forget it, and move on.

Secure text sharing that actually disappears. Finally.
