Burn Note

How to Share a Password Securely

Passwords sent over chat or email stay in message history, backups, and search indexes for years. A one-time link lets the recipient read the password once — then it is gone.

How it works in 3 steps

  1. 1.Write and create

    Encrypted in your browser. The key is kept in the link, not on our server.

  2. 2.Send the link to one person

    Use any app. Opening the link alone does not reveal or delete the note.

  3. 3.They click Open Note

    The note is shown once and deleted from the server right away.

Before you paste a secret

  • No account and no recovery: if the note is lost, it is gone.
  • Unread notes expire automatically, from read-once (7 days) up to 30 days.
  • A destroyed page means the note was opened or expired — Burn Note cannot tell which.

Paste the password below and send the generated link instead of the password itself.

Password Protection

Clicking the button generates a URL containing the encryption key. No plaintext or keys are ever stored on the server.

Why chat and email are risky for passwords

  • Messages are stored indefinitely on servers you do not control.
  • Anyone who later gains access to either inbox can read the password.
  • Previews and notifications can expose the password on lock screens.

Sharing a password with Burn Note

  • Paste the password into the note above.
  • Optionally add a password of its own and send it through a different channel.
  • Send the generated link. After the recipient opens it once, the note is deleted from the server.

Tips for safer password sharing

  • Send the link and the username through different channels.
  • Ask the recipient to change the password after the first login.
  • Use the shortest expiration that works for you.

FAQ

What if the recipient sees a destroyed page instead of the password?
That page appears when a note is no longer on the server — because it was already opened, or because it expired before anyone opened it. Burn Note cannot tell which. If the recipient did not open it and the expiration has not passed, treat the password as possibly exposed and change it.
Does Burn Note store the password?
The server only stores encrypted data. The decryption key lives in the part of the link after #, which browsers never send to the server.
