What is Yopass?

There is no perfect way of sharing secrets online and there is a trade off in every implementation. Yopass is designed to be as simple and "dumb" as possible without compromising on security. There's no mapping between the generated UUID and the user that submitted the encrypted message. It's always best send all the context except password over another channel.

It's recommended to host yopass yourself if you care about security.

  • End-to-End encryption using OpenPGP
  • Secrets can only be viewed once
  • No accounts or user management required
  • Secrets self destruct after X hours
  • Custom password option
  • Limited file upload functionality
