Share a One-Time Password
Create a one-time password link that can be opened a single time, then permanently self-destructs.
The problem
A password pasted into Slack, email, or a text message can be reopened by anyone with access to that thread — again and again, long after it was needed. There is no way to guarantee it was seen exactly once, and no way to claw it back once it has been sent.
How Vaulted helps
Vaulted turns any password into a one-time link. It is encrypted in your browser with AES-256-GCM before it leaves your device, and you set the view limit to a single view so the link self-destructs the moment the recipient opens it. The decryption key lives only in the URL fragment, which is never sent to the server, so the sharing is truly zero-knowledge.
How to do it
- Paste the password into Vaulted
- Set the view limit to 1 view so the link can be opened only once
- Optionally add a passphrase and a short expiration window
- Send the link — after the recipient opens it once, it is permanently destroyed
One-time password link vs. one-time passcode (OTP)
A one-time password link shares an existing secret through a URL that can be opened only once — that is what Vaulted creates. A one-time passcode (OTP) is a short numeric code generated for two-factor authentication. If you need to send someone a 2FA code or backup codes instead, see Share Two-Factor Codes and Share Recovery Codes.
