Password protection
Lock any paste behind a password. The contents are never sent to the browser until the right password is entered.
Private pastebin
Share text privately
Unlisted links, passwords, burn after reading and expiry — four ways to keep a paste between you and the people you send it to.
1
Paste it
Text, code, a config file — whatever you need to hand over.
2
Lock it down
Add a password, burn after reading, or an expiry time.
3
Send the link
Send the password a different way for extra safety.
What you get
All features →Burn after reading
Create a paste that self-destructs the moment it's opened once. Perfect for secrets you don't want lingering.
Flexible expiry
Auto-expire pastes after 10 minutes, an hour, a day, a week, or a month — or keep them around forever.
Public or unlisted
List a paste in the public feed, or keep it link-only so it's visible to just the people you share it with.
No account required
Everything works anonymously in the browser. Nothing to sign up for, nothing to install — an account is there only if you want one.
Raw & download
Grab the plain-text raw view or download a paste as a file with the correct extension for its language.
Questions
Who can see an unlisted paste?
Only people with the link. Unlisted pastes never appear in public listings — and unlisted is the default.
How does password protection work?
The paste's contents are never sent to a browser until the right password is entered. Someone with only the link sees a password prompt and nothing else.
What does burn after reading do?
The paste deletes itself after it's opened once. Link previews in chat apps don't count — it's only burned when someone opens the page in a browser.
Can I make a paste expire?
Yes: after 10 minutes, an hour, a day, a week or a month — or keep it forever.
Should I keep passwords in a paste?
Use pastes to hand things over briefly — ideally with a password and burn after reading — and keep long-term credentials in a password manager.
