Website for Sending Self-Destruct Messages
Have you ever wanted to send someone a PSK for a VPN as an example and cannot use an encrypted email? Here is a website that will allow you to send encrypted messages that get deleted once they are read. Here is the link to the website.
The Website
The interface is very plain and no frills. You can choose Show options
button to see more options.
In the Options
page, we can choose a few options. I normally use the default which is after reading it
for the Note Self-destruct
. You can set a password and then an email validation that the message has been destroyed. You can also give it an optional reference note.
Typical Use Case
In this use case, I am going to send a typical PSK for a VPN that I want to send to someone. Normally, I would not put any marks in the Reference
section that could lead to anything about the true nature of the message.
Sending Message
Above, you can see I kept the default of Note self-destruct
option to after reading it
. I want it to prompt telling the recipient that the message will in fact self-destruct.
I also added my Monkey email address to validate.
Once you Create Note
you will have this screen displayed. You can either copy the link via `⌘ C` or `CTRL C’ depending on your OS. You can also email although, to me it gives too much “paper trail”.
Receiving the message
I opened my Brave Browser
to mimic another user receiving the message.
Once you open the message, you will be prompted for the password.
Here we can see the the unencrypted message and the warning message saying it has been destroyed.
Finally, I received the email saying the message has been destroyed.
Hope this helps.
