How secure is my paste?

Your pastes are encrypted using industry-standard encryption algorithms. We use AES-256 encryption for all content, ensuring that your data remains secure and private.

Can TxtPaste read my pastes?

No, we cannot read your encrypted pastes. The content is encrypted on your device before being sent to our servers, and only you (or those you share the password with) can decrypt and read the content.

How is my paste secured?

We employ multiple layers of security:

• End-to-end encryption using AES-256

• One-time view options

Who can unlock my paste?

Only users with the correct password can unlock your paste. If you've set a password, you'll need to share it with anyone you want to view the content. For public pastes without a password, anyone with the link can view them.
