# Deploy and Host Onetime Secret - Secure One-Time Message Sharing

*Keep passwords and other sensitive information out of your inboxes and chat logs.*

## About Hosting Onetime Secret

A onetime secret is a link that can be viewed only once. A single-use URL.

Try it out on [OnetimeSecret.com](https://onetimesecret.com/)

When you send people sensitive info like passwords and private links via email or chat, there are copies of that information stored in many places. If you use a Onetime link instead, the information persists for a single viewing which means it can't be read by someone else later. This allows you to send sensitive information in a safe way knowing it's seen by one person only. Think of it like a self-destructing message.

## Common Use Cases

- Secure text sharing
- Password sharing
- Share environment variables
