How it works

Discover how Seecret.it secures password and file sharing through zero-knowledge AES-256 encryption and one-time links.

The concept

A new way to share your secrets

In a world where passwords are still shared via email, instant messaging or SMS, most sensitive information remains stored for years in inboxes or conversation histories.

Seecret.it offers a different approach: a secure, ephemeral and fully controlled way to share your digital secrets. Instead of leaving a password sitting in an email, you create a one-time encrypted link that self-destructs after reading.

Strong encryption

Each seecret is strongly encrypted, ensuring only the link holder can access it and no sensitive data is readable by a third party.

Single & ephemeral access

The link can only be viewed once and self-destructs automatically after reading. No persistence.

Total control

Expiration, country restrictions, additional password, notifications: full control over your sensitive data.

Security by design

A truly ephemeral sharing

When you send a password by email or message, it often stays accessible indefinitely in archives, on multiple devices, sometimes even in external backups. In case of account hacking or stolen phone, this information becomes an ideal entry point.

With Seecret.it, each secret is associated with a unique, single-use link. As soon as the recipient opens this link:

  • Content is displayed only once
  • It is immediately destroyed server-side
  • The link becomes permanently unusable

No data is stored permanently. It's a concrete response to cybersecurity authorities' recommendations like the French ANSSI or CNIL.

How to use

How to use Seecret.it daily

The interface is designed to remain simple, even for non-technical users.

1

Enter your seecret

Password, confidential message, private link, instructions, etc.

2

Define the rules

Validity duration, number of views, additional password, geographic restrictions.

3

Share the link

By email, chat, SMS, ticketing or even verbally (QR code).

The recipient has nothing to install. Just open the link to display the content once. Then the seecret disappears permanently, drastically reducing leak risk.

Encrypted files

Attach files confidentially

Attach one or more files to your seecret: PDFs, images, supporting documents, screenshots. Like the message, they are encrypted server-side and can only be viewed once.

As soon as the link is opened, the files are automatically destroyed. Ideal for contracts, HR documents, accounting items.
