## What it is
Yopass is a self-hostable web application for securely sharing secrets, passwords, and files via one-time, auto-expiring links. Secrets are encrypted in the browser with OpenPGP before upload, so the server only ever stores ciphertext and the decryption key never leaves the sender's machine.

## Use cases
- share a password with a colleague without it living in Slack
- send an API key or database credential via a one-time link
- securely receive credentials from vendors or clients
- share sensitive files that self-destruct after viewing
- avoid plaintext secrets in email and ticket systems
- self-host an alternative to OneTimeSecret

## When to choose
- you need end-to-end encrypted, one-time secret links you fully control
- you want a lightweight Go server deployable via Docker or Kubernetes with Memcached/Redis/S3 backends
- you need compliance features like audit logging, OIDC sign-in, read receipts, and webhooks (with a business license)

## When to avoid
- you need full team password management with a vault, not ephemeral link sharing
- you require all governance features (OIDC, audit logs, webhooks, theming) without paying for a license
- you want a managed service with zero infrastructure to run
