We got a lot of feedback last month on our post about the alpha launch of onetimesecret.com ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3207489 ). We were blown away by the amount of interest so we spent more time working on it and talking to more people. We just upgraded the site to beta which includes new features and a lot of improvements.<p>It would be awesome to get more feedback but more importantly I wanted to mention that we've included a free plan for HNers. (You might notice that we're A/B testing another free plan -- the key difference is that this one will be free forever.)<p>So thank you and let me know what we can do better!
Ive used these type of encrypted messages before but with little success or the glitches are many. Ive begun using One-Time secret and it works first try with no issues. Glad to see someone doing it right.
I actually used this other other day to transmit a root password for a server. Not sure how often this happens but contrary to my own belief there appears to be a market for this sort of thing.
Didn't Peter F Hamilton write about a future with "one time email addresses"? I like the idea of this, but I want to see it able to handle photos, video, and audio.
I don't see much use for this outside the send-a-password use-case. For that it seems like one of those things that might be convenient if I need to send a password/username to a buddy but for anything at all official I don't think you will get users. Most places don't want people going out to 3rd party sites for sensitive data.
it should reply to json requests with immediate secrete 'release' w/o the extra button clicking and in a simple json format. This will allow usage from bots etc.
