Everything you want to know about Temp-Text
Temp-Text is a free service for creating temporary encrypted messages. You enter text, set a lifetime, and receive a unique link to share with the recipient. After viewing (or when the time expires), the message is deleted.
All messages are encrypted with the AES-256-CBC algorithm before being stored in the database. The original text is never stored in plain form. AES-256 is the same standard used by banks and government systems.
If you selected the "one-time" option, the message is deleted immediately after the recipient's first view. Even if the recipient shares the link with someone else, the message cannot be read again.
You can set a lifetime from 1 minute to 3 days (4320 minutes). After the lifetime expires, the message becomes unavailable and is marked for deletion from the database.
No. No registration is required. Create messages completely anonymously — no email, login, or password needed.
No. Messages are encrypted and accessible only via a unique link. Temp-text.com staff cannot read the content of messages in plain text.
The message is marked as expired and immediately becomes unavailable. The physical deletion of the record from the database happens with a short delay via an automated cleanup script.
Yes, if the "allow editing" option was selected during creation. In this case, the message text can be changed via a unique editing link (URL /e?token=...).
We store the creator's IP address solely to protect against abuse (spam, attacks). Data is not shared with third parties except as required by law.
Yes, it is much safer than sending a password in a messenger or by email, where it may be stored for years. A Temp-Text message lives exactly as long as you set.
The maximum message length is 15,000 characters, which is sufficient for most use cases.
