How PassLink Works
PassLink uses client-side encryption to share secrets securely. Here's the step-by-step process:
1. Write Your Secret
Paste your password, API key, or any sensitive text into the encrypted form on passlink.click.
2. Client-Side Encryption
Your secret is encrypted in your browser using AES-128 before it ever leaves your device. The encryption key is generated locally and never sent to our servers.
3. Generate the Link
PassLink creates a unique one-time URL. The decryption key is stored in the URL fragment (#key), which browsers never send to servers.
4. Share the Link
Send the link to your recipient via any channel — email, Slack, WhatsApp, etc. The link shows rich previews when shared.
5. Self-Destruction
Once the recipient views the secret, it is permanently deleted from our servers. The link can never be used again.
