From setup to sharing
How It Works
Separate a public introduction from the private message.
How it works
A memo can separate a public introduction from the protected text. Visitors can see the public part, but the secret memo is revealed only after the correct password is entered.
The recipient experience
Recipients can read a protected memo without creating an account. They open the address, enter the shared password, and can view or copy the secret text while the memo remains available.
Before you begin
Available controls and their limits
Memos are not one-time by default. Unlocked text can be copied.
Creator controls
Write the protected text, add only non-sensitive context to the public field, and choose any availability or access controls offered by your plan. A memo is not one-time by default.
Protection boundary
The protected body is stored encrypted, but a recipient who unlocks it can still copy, photograph, or forward the text. LOCK.PUB cannot recover a forgotten password for you.
SecurityCommon questions
Practical answers for creators and recipients before using this feature.
What should I know before using Secret Memos?
Use an access limit of one only when you intentionally want a single successful opening. Never put secrets in the public memo field, and share the password through a separate trusted channel when possible.
