Comment on One-time Secret: Share passwords etc with URIs that work only once

Comments

For me sending sensitive information using a 3rd party service, no matter what the privacy policy is, is not an option.

On the other hand the amount of positive comments simply shows how bad user experience do the current solutions like GPG/PGP have and how easy it is for people to choose convenience over security, even on this forum.

Here's our privacy policy: we don't care to know your secrets.

That's tongue and cheek obviously b/c you do raise a good point. Do you have any examples we could base one on?

Maybe it could work if you split the password up. Email someone the first half of the password, then tell them to append the second half from the link.
