This secret contains the recovery key for a Bitcoin wallet. Crack it and take my money!"
Love it.

#3I built a similar tool after Firefox send got killed. It was only for transient messages (e.g. sending secrets to someone else or an other device). I don’t know that I love the idea of these being long-lived, as I’m not sure I trust my password abilities.

#4It would be awesome if this could be code-golfed into a small enough package to fit in a QR code.

#5neat tool. I would encrypt the payload type and extension tho

The first few times I shared this with (security professional) colleagues and friends, they'd dismiss it right away "this can't possibly work", but it was because they _assumed_ it didn't work (too simple).
Attaching a challenge made a big difference, they'd spend 5 minutes trying to crack it and, in the process, realize it is actually sound (despite the simplicity).

Brave and Safari that I know of.
i.e. if you run the creator with a simple HTTP server on localhost:8080 it'll block the fetch to localhost:8080/foo

Very creative and efficient use of $400 on PR/advertising!

Do you mind expanding?
Specifically, what do you mean by de-golfed (I'm only vaguely aware of what 'kids' mean by code-golf these days, and I'm kinda lost on de-golfing).
What would you like to fit into a QR code? A PortableSecret (e.g. html file)?
