Managing Your Allowlist

The allowlist lets you mark specific secrets as safe to paste without triggering a warning.

Adding to Allowlist

When a secret is detected, click "Allow" in the warning modal to add it to your allowlist. Future pastes of the same secret won't trigger a warning.

Clearing Allowlist

To clear all allowlist entries, open the SecretPaste popup and click "Clear Allowlist". This will remove all saved entries.

Zero Configuration Required

The extension works automatically on supported AI chat sites, and the desktop app works automatically across apps via clipboard monitoring. No setup needed — just install and start chatting safely.
