URL Parameters

URL Parameters

Both the encrypt and decrypt forms read query parameters from the URL on mount, so you can pre-fill fields or fully automate a flow with a link. Each parameter has a long and a short alias. Sensitive parameters are automatically removed from the URL via history.replaceState right after they are read.

Select the tab — tab / t

Value	Effect
encrypt	Switch to the Encrypt tab
decrypt	Switch to the Decrypt tab

note	n	string	any	No
question	q	string	any	No
answer	a	string	any	Yes
attempts	att	number	0, 3, 5, 10	No
ips	—	string	comma-separated IPv4/IPv6	No

Decrypt parameters

Long	Short	Type	Sensitive
passphrase	p	string	Yes
passphrase2	p2	string (enables dual key)	Yes
dual	d	flag	No
answer	a	string	Yes

Examples

# Pre-fill the decrypt passphrase (cleared from the URL after load)
/?t=decrypt&p=myKey123

# Open the encrypt tab in file mode, 30-minute expiry, gzip, high KDF
/?t=encrypt&m=file&ttl=30&c=gzip&s=high

# Encrypt with a reveal key, a hint, a secret question, and an IP allowlist
/?t=encrypt&p=main&r=shared&h=check+email&q=Color?&a=blue&ips=10.0.0.1,192.168.1.5

# Decrypt a dual-key file with the secret answer
/?t=decrypt&p=key1&p2=key2&a=answer

Notes

• Sensitive values are not retained. p, p2, r, and a are cleared from the address bar immediately after being read, to avoid leaving secrets in history or referrers. Even so, treat any link containing them as sensitive.
• security (s) overrides iterations (i) when both are present.
• For non-interactive or scripted use, prefer the CLI or the Library over URL parameters.
