Use cases

Teams send passwords, contracts and API keys in plaintext by email, Slack or SMS every day. Secret Drop lets you send them through an end-to-end encrypted link instead.

Passwords and credentials

A new team member needs access. Instead of an email that stays readable in both inboxes, 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 your recipient doesn't open the link 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 pasted in a Slack channel stays readable in plaintext by everyone in it. A single-use link stops working once your recipient opens it.

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 password without writing it on a sticky note. Your guests scan the built-in QR code to open the link on their phone.

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 not 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.
