Share one-time secret information, such as a license key or a passcode, securely with anyone using Privnote.com. Privnote is a free service that lets you easily secure and share information using a weblink.  Once viewed, the secret information is automatically destroyed. This is particularly useful for sharing temporary passwords after assisting in a reset.
