Sending your ID number in a chat?
Chats keep copies — lots of them.
Let's rewind.
Write it in a secret memo.
Choose a password.
LOCK.PUB locks it with your password.
Stored encrypted.
You get a link.
Send the link by chat…
…and the password another way.
Keep them apart.
Your friend opens the link,
types the password,
and reads the memo.
Only the password opens it.
Someone else has the link?
No password, no memo.
Share the link. Keep the secret.
