    How to Send a secret message that will self-destruct in the recipient's inbox?

    Sometimes you need to share private information (password,credit card details or bank account information) with a family member friend or colleague. It is possible to simply send the personal information via email or a chat message to the recipient. However, there is a risk that they might forget to delete the message and your private information may still remain in their inbox or computer.
    This means that a malicious user, who manages to illegally access the recipient's computer or account in the future, could potentially access your private information  and misuse it. Wouldn't it be fantastic to be able to share your private message with the recipient via a self destructing message which automatically gets deleted once it has been read?


    This is a very useful website known as Burn Note(www.burnnote.com) comes into the picture. It allows a user to send a message to someone else in such a manner that athe message will be automatically deleted immediately or after a predefined number of seconds after it has been read. This ensures that your message remains truly private and cannot be accessed by anyone after it has been conveyed to the intended recipient.
    Let us take an example, in which a family member needs your credit card number for a urgent purchase and you wish to share in the form of a secure self-destructing message.
    All you need to do is to simply start your browser and connect to www.bunnote.com ad type the private message of your choice in the space provided.

    For added security,it is not possible to prevent the recipient from being able to copy your private message, but also to put a password on the self- destructing message. This gives you double protection against unauthorized access to your private information. Moreover, Burn Note also allows you to specify the number of seconds after which the private message will automatically self-destruct.

    1.  Click on the options button to access all the various options available to you while creating the private message.

    2. Once you are done writing the private message and selecting the various options related to it, click on the Send button. Burn Note will now create a URL or a link to a special temporary web page where your private message will be stored.


    3. To share the message with you friend, you simply need to send this link to you friend via email, chat or mobile application.

    When the recipient ones the link, they will be taken  to the special temporary web page where your private message has been stored. However, they won't be allowed to view the private message without entering the password(if you chose to set one)



    Only once the correct password is entered will the recipient be allowed to view your private message (in this case, your credit card number), The best part is that the private message can be viewed only once and will be automatically deleted after the predefined number of seconds.

    Some other popular sites that allow to send similar self-destructing messages are:

    • One Share(www.oneshar.es)
