Communicate securely secrets

Open mshedsilegx opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

A possible enhancement would be to have the possibility to send separately the link itself from the decryption key. Example:

One-click link: https://ots.fyi/#e3fc3d94-4c0b-4e93-9686-8d3a3513ae8f%7CF1Razc4vVNqsZEg18BEA
Short link: https://ots.fyi/#e3fc3d94-4c0b-4e93-9686-8d3a3513ae8f
Decryption key: F1Razc4vVNqsZEg18BEA

Similar to this implemented by yopass:

Clicking on the short link, would prompt for a decryption passphrase:

I think it is really a good workflow, that would benefit OTS, by sending the key through a different channel. Thank you for your consideration.

Speaking for myself only... I do not like it, that "Enter decryption key" is bloat for a one-time secret service.

I think you misunderstood. Both options would be valid. If a one time link provided, no changes. If a partial link is provided (short link, not including the key), then the decryption key would be prompted and needs to be provided in the form.
