How this works
Purpose
To pass secrets to another person or device without having to share credentials. A temporary bin that
you control.
Examples
Suppose you want to share a social security number to another person but do not want to expose your phone
number (e.g WhatsApp, Telegram etc) or email? Tmpbn allows you to paste in a secret with a password phrase
and then for a short period of time store the encrypted data on a server. When
the @phrases are re-entered correctly, within the time limit, the secret will be revealed. If the "Burn
data on Get" has been checked the encrypted secret will be deleted on the server immediately - otherwise
the secrets are deleted after 5 minutes of being saved to the server.
We suggest your phrase is as long as possible. The browser hashes this along with a recycled seed phrase to create a unique identifier that the server can validate when a Get is a made. For extra security, and to eliminate hash clash, the server returns a phrase of words which should be copied. These words are required when Getting the data.
Privacy
We do not sell or pass on your data. We try to ensure we collect as little as possible. The browser
does the hard work and the code is available to see. At the server level we store your encrypted secret,
the time you want us to hold onto it, a unique identifier, and a timestamp. We do not store or know your
phrases. The server physically deletes the data after 5 minutes. We do not carry out backups.
Bots and spams are a nuisance and the server may monitor ip addresses and other identifiers and
triggers to reduce abuse.
The server is currently in the EU.
