Question 1

What if I forget my password?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, if you forget your password, your file cannot be recovered. This is by design — if we could recover your file without the password, so could an attacker. We recommend using a password manager to store important passwords.

Question 2

How long are files stored?

Accepted Answer

Files are stored for 30 days by default. After that they are no longer served, and unused objects should also be expired with a bucket lifecycle rule on the pastes/ prefix.

Question 3

Is this really secure?

Accepted Answer

Yes, as long as you use a strong password. The encryption uses industry-standard algorithms (AES-256-GCM) combined with post-quantum protection (ML-KEM). All encryption happens in your browser — we never have access to your unencrypted data or passwords.

Question 4

What is post-quantum encryption?

Accepted Answer

Post-quantum encryption uses mathematical problems that quantum computers cannot solve efficiently. We use ML-KEM (Kyber), which is based on lattice problems believed to be hard for both classical and quantum computers.
