I made this tool so you can share 'locked' links safely & anonymously with a password. It gives you plausible deniability and crowd blending when sharing privates links.๐Ÿ”’

Not that I'd use this service for it, but I've had use cases for this sort of thing. It's not so much about plausible deniability as OP wants to sell it as, but more about security. You send the locked link (or a PW protected file or whatever) via, say, email, and the password through a text message. Then, in order for the data to be stolen, the attacker would need access to both of those, rather than only one. It's niche, but I've needed to do it for my job before, so I can at least see the point.

Files are a whole other issue. If I was to make a file upload, it would be my site (encrypts & uploads data)->uploadthing.com->AWS T3 Buckets->returns link. Because if it was bad content my site cant do the decryption without being liable, so for decryption->open sauce decryption system->hosted on popular free platforms you can't block->decrypts data and hides original file.

There's already services like Box.com that offer similar functionality for files.

As a suggestion, having an option to have the string deleted after it's been accessed once would be nice as an extra layer of protection.
