11-01 Secrets

What you need to know

Secrets allow you to create sharing links for text-based data (e.g., passwords, CSV lists, bank details...) that can be sent to anyone with or without a UNIverse account for retrieval. The data itself is encrypted throughout and the encryption code is not stored on the server, so even UNIverse cannot access it. Once the data has been retrieved, the secret is deleted.

What you need to do

Creating a secret

1. Open Secrets.
2. Click on New secret.
3. Set an expiration date.
4. Optionally, assign a password.
5. Enter the information you want to share in the field provided.
6. Click on Save. The secret is now stored on the server in fully encrypted form. It can only be decrypted by someone who has the link. Once it has been successfully retrieved, the secret is deleted from the server.
7. Copy the share link.
8. Share the share link with the desired person. Important: Copy the link immediately! It is only available during creation and cannot be retrieved at a later time.
9. Click on the three-dots menu next to the desired secret to change title or delete the secret.

Retrieving a secret

1. Click on the reveal link.
2. Click on I understand. Reveal and destroy secret.
3. Click on Copy to Clipboard to copy the information to the clipboard or on Download to download the information.
