 ### One time secrets
 
-OTS are an easy way to share a secret with someone: you provide the data to share and you will receive back a unique token: accessing the token through the API, you will have access to the the decrypted data, **but only once**: once "consumed", the token will be deleted.

 You can share both random text, or an entire item.
