Hey HN! I made a service to share passwords easy and secure but never promoted it. It's called instapass.io I noticed that people besides my friends and clients actually started to use, so maybe it will be helpful for you too! You share one-time self-destruct message using one time links and I won't even be able to see what you wrote. How does it work? When you generate a message the client-side makes a random password and use that to encrypt the message. The password is appended as an anchor tag which all modern browsers never send to the server. This way, I don't even know what you shared.…

I have written a passwords/secrets manager for my personal needs. Maybe it solves some of your problems too. It is written in Go and is a self-contained executable for a small web-app: https://github.com/jarmo/secrets-web There is also a CLI version if that is your taste: https://github.com/jarmo/secrets-cli To read about more technical details, look into the core repository at https://github.com/jarmo/secrets Any questions/comments/suggestions are welcome in here or via GitHub pull requests.

Back in 2012 I built https://cert-depot.com as a weekend project. Node.js + Express + jQuery, shelling out to OpenSSL for certificate generation. It worked but I eventually let it rot. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4766743 Rewrote it from scratch in Go. The entire thing is a single binary with no external dependencies: 1. Certificate generation uses Go's crypto/x509 (no OpenSSL) 2. Certificates are generated in memory and streamed directly — nothing is stored on the server 3. RSA 2048/4096 and ECDSA P-256/P-384 4.

Hi! I've been frustrated with the secret sharing situation in serverside javascript land for a while; the common thing is to just toss .env files around on Slack to get someone's app working, or involves some kind of convoluted setup to get a blob from a storage and turn it into environment variables via commands I have to copy paste every time. But everyone uses secret storage providers, e.g. shared password vaults, cloud secrets, etc., so why not leverage those as URIs in a JSON file that can be checked in to source control? I want something simple that would just generate the darn .env…

Hey HN, We've decided to open-source our Portable Secret. It's a free tool that generates self-contained HTML files which decrypt locally in your browser. Check it out at https://alcazarsec.github.io/portable-secret/. Source code: https://github.com/alcazarsec/portable-secret The project is inspired by an old post (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34083366) by mprimi, who coined the term "Portable Secret." I really liked the idea and wanted to improve the security of the KDF and the UX. I hope he's honored that so many people have…
