Frequently Asked Questions
Essential information about Vanisec
What is Vanisec?
Vanisec (alternatively referred to as OTS or One-Time Secret) represents a complimentary, protected single-use confidential sharing solution. Exchange sensitive data such as authentication credentials, API tokens, access keys, or proprietary information through encrypted URLs that permit only one viewing session and remove themselves automatically.
Is Vanisec free to use?
Absolutely, Vanisec operates entirely without cost. Registration is unnecessary, payment methods are not required, and no concealed charges exist. Utilize the service extensively without limitations, perpetually at no expense.
How secure is Vanisec?
Vanisec employs encryption to safeguard your confidential entries. Data resides temporarily in Redis with automatic expiration, permits only single access, and gets permanently eliminated after viewing or expiration. Passphrase protection can be added for enhanced security.
Do I need to create an account?
No, Vanisec functions without registration or account creation requirements. Begin exchanging confidential data immediately without any signup process.
What happens to my secret after it is viewed?
Immediately upon viewing, the confidential entry gets permanently eliminated from our infrastructure. It becomes unrecoverable, even using the identical URL.
What happens if my secret expires before being viewed?
Should a confidential entry expire prior to access, it gets automatically and permanently removed. The URL becomes non-functional, and the entry cannot be restored.
Can I view a secret multiple times?
No, each confidential entry allows only one access session. This protection mechanism ensures maximum safeguarding of your sensitive information.
What expiration times are available?
Options include 60 minutes, 6 hours, 24 hours, 72 hours, or 7 days. Confidential entries get automatically removed upon expiration.
Is password protection required?
No, passphrase protection remains optional. We suggest utilizing it for extremely sensitive data to provide supplementary protection layers.
Do you store my secrets?
Confidential entries remain temporarily in Redis until accessed or expired. We never retain entries in activity logs, analytical systems, or persistent storage. After removal, they disappear permanently.
Can I use Vanisec for commercial purposes?
Yes, Vanisec operates without cost for both personal and commercial applications. Usage restrictions do not apply.
Is Vanisec open source?
