Use cases

Every day, confidential data travels in plaintext through email, Slack or SMS. Secret Drop replaces these risky habits with a secure exchange, end-to-end encrypted.

Passwords and credentials

A new team member needs access. Instead of an email anyone can read, send a link that self-destructs after reading.

CMS access, shared accounts, Wi-Fi credentials for a contractor.

Set expiration to 1 hour, single read. Change the password if the link was not opened in time.

Confidential documents

Contracts, ID documents, payslips — files that should not linger in an inbox or on a third-party server.

ID for a bank, signed contract, pay stub.

Set expiration to 24 hours, single read, passphrase recommended for sensitive documents.

API keys and tokens

An API key in a Slack chat is a plaintext secret visible to the entire team. A single-use link is a secret that vanishes.

Stripe key, GitHub token, environment variables.

Set expiration to 1 hour, single read, split mode recommended: link by email, key by messaging.

SSH keys and certificates

Granting server access should not involve copy-pasting a private key into an email.

Temporary server access, signing certificate, deploy key.

Set expiration to 1 hour, single read, split mode. Revoke the SSH key server-side after use.

Wi-Fi passwords

Share the Wi-Fi without writing it on a sticky note. The built-in QR code makes mobile connection easy.

Office visitors, Airbnb guests, meeting room.

Set expiration to 7 days, allow multiple reads. Use the QR code for instant mobile sharing.

Personal information

Card numbers, PINs, medical information — data that should never stay in a chat history.

Card number for a purchase, emergency access codes.

Set expiration to 1 hour, single read, passphrase. Notify the recipient through a separate channel.
