Reveal Once <mv-reveal-once>
Der vollständige Übergabeschritt für ein Geheimnis, das nur einmal angezeigt werden kann (API-Schlüssel, Personal Access Token, Signatur-Secret für Webhooks, 2FA-Wiederherstellungscodes, temporäres Passwort, Seed-Phrase einer Wallet), ohne Timer: Der Wert bleibt so lange, wie der Nutzer ihn braucht, aber er kann nicht weiter, ohne zu bestätigen, dass er ihn gesichert hat. Vorher ist nichts Geheimes im DOM: ein gepunkteter Platzhalter mit genau der Form des Werts, ein klarer Hinweis, dass er nur einmal angezeigt wird, eine Liste „Have ready“ (Passwortmanager, Zugriff auf deine Umgebungsvariablen) und ein Reveal-Button oder Gedrückthalten mit sich füllendem Balken (Space gedrückt halten auf der Tastatur, zwei Aktivierungen für Screenreader). Angezeigt ist der Wert in Monospace und in Blöcke gegliedert (ein Präfix wie prc_live_ bleibt abgesetzt, Vierergruppen vom Ende her gezählt, Ziffern und Symbole eingefärbt, damit 0/O und 1/l nie verwechselt werden, für Screenreader Zeichen für Zeichen buchstabiert), mit Copy (Bestätigung, optionales automatisches Leeren der Zwischenablage), Download .txt und Print für Wiederherstellungscodes sowie einem Hide-Umschalter. Eine Sperre hält Continue zurück, bis ein Kontrollkästchen angehakt ist oder, im Hochrisikomodus, die letzten 4 Zeichen (oder ein zufälliger Code oder ein Wort) bei verborgenem Wert erneut eingegeben werden. Das Verlassen in der Zwischenzeit ist durch beforeunload, ein abbrechbares mv-leave und ein Inline-„Leave without saving?“ für In-App-Navigation abgesichert. Danach wird der Wert aus DOM und Speicher gelöscht, und nur ein dauerhafter Fingerabdruck bleibt („prc_live_…9f3a · Created Sep 24 by you“, die letzte Gruppe gleitet an ihren Platz), mit „Lost it? Rotate“, das über eine Bestätigung und ein abbrechbares mv-rotate läuft, dessen waitUntil das neue Geheimnis zurückgeben kann, um es noch einmal einmalig anzuzeigen.

When to use
- A freshly created API key or access token must be shown once, and users keep closing the page before saving it
- Two-factor recovery codes or a seed phrase must be downloaded, printed or copied and acknowledged before setup can finish
- A settings page lists existing keys by fingerprint only and offers to rotate one that was lost
- Compliance requires proof that the user acknowledged storing a credential that will never be displayed again
Avoid when
- The secret should disappear on its own after a short, timed read, even if the user walks away → use Self-Destruct instead
- Sensitive data stays retrievable but every opening must leave an audited trace → use Tamper Seal instead
- The value is not sensitive and should stay visible and copyable at any time → use Copy Button instead

Werke und Tage (der Mythos von Pandoras Krug), Hesiod (um 700 v. Chr., Mythos). Ist der Krug einmal geöffnet, lässt sich das, was herauskommt, nie wieder zurücktun: Das Öffnen ist ein unumkehrbarer Akt, der vorher einen Moment des Nachdenkens verdient, und nur eine Spur davon bleibt. In der UI wird ein einmaliges Geheimnis erst nach einem klaren Hinweis angezeigt, kann nicht zurückgelassen werden, ohne zu bestätigen, dass es gesichert wurde, und danach bleiben nur sein Fingerabdruck und eine Möglichkeit, es zu ersetzen.
API
Attributes
| Name | Typ | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
label | string | Secret | What the secret is (“Production API key”, “Recovery codes”): title, accessible name, and the noun used in every sentence (“I’ve saved this production API key somewhere safe”). |
hold | boolean | Press-and-hold to reveal: a bar fills the button for hold-duration; releasing early rewinds it. Keyboard: hold Space or Enter. A click with no press behind it (screen reader, switch access) arms the button and a second activation within 6 s reveals. | |
hold-duration | number (ms) | 900 | How long the hold lasts (250-5000). The fill still runs under reduced motion because it carries the time left. |
confirm | checkbox | retype | checkbox | The gate before Continue. checkbox: “I’ve saved this … somewhere safe”. retype (high stakes): type the last 4 characters of a key, or a random code / word (#n) of a list; focusing the field hides the value so it has to come from the saved copy. Case, spaces and dashes are ignored. |
format | auto | key | list | words | auto | How the value is shown. auto: an array or several lines is a numbered list (codes), 12+ lowercase words a seed phrase (words, never spelled out), anything else a key. Read when the secret is loaded. |
group | number | 4 | Chunk size for keys and for list items longer than 8 characters, counted from the end so the last chunk is the fingerprint’s tail. 0 disables. Values that carry their own dashes or spaces (temporary passwords, dashed codes) keep them instead. |
key-prefix | string | "none" | Prefix kept apart and always visible (it is part of the fingerprint). Auto-detected when omitted: one or two lowercase segments ending with _ or - (prc_live_, ghp_, whk_). | |
tail | number | 4 | Trailing characters kept in the fingerprint (0-8). Use 0 for passwords: the fingerprint then shows only the prefix and ••••. |
downloadable | boolean | Shows Download .txt: a plain-text file with the label, creation line, the value (numbered for lists) and a safekeeping note. | |
filename | string | Download file name (.txt added if missing). Default: the label in kebab-case. | |
printable | boolean | Shows Print: prints only the value, label and creation line from a hidden, throwaway frame (never the rest of the page). | |
clear-clipboard | number (s) | After a copy, overwrites the clipboard with an empty string after this many seconds if the last copy in this document was the secret, and says so under the tools. Best effort: browsers refuse clipboard writes when the page is not focused. | |
masked | boolean | Reflects the Hide / Show toggle while revealed (set it to start hidden, e.g. while screen sharing). Masked, the characters leave the DOM and only dots of the same length remain; the prefix stays. | |
created | ISO date | Creation date shown as “Created Sep 24 by you” (year added when not the current one). Default: the moment the secret is loaded. Removed by a rotation that returns a new secret. | |
created-by | string | you | Who created it. Empty string: “Created Sep 24”. |
prepare | comma list | A password manager or secrets vault | The “Have ready” checklist shown before the reveal. Empty string hides it. |
fingerprint | string | Server-provided fingerprint (“whk_…c81d”). Without a secret, the component starts directly in the done state: a keys settings page listing fingerprints with Rotate. Also overrides the computed one. | |
no-guard | boolean | Disables the beforeunload prompt (mv-leave is then not emitted on unload; leave() still works). | |
data-state | empty | ready | revealed | done | Set by the component. Also data-holding, data-copied, data-downloaded, data-confirmed, data-masked-view, data-unconfirmed (done without confirmation), data-alert, data-pending (rotation in flight). |
Properties
| Name | Typ | Description |
|---|---|---|
secret | string | string[] | Write-only: loads a secret in the ready state (a string, a multi-line string or an array). Reading it always returns null. Preferred over a <template> child, which is in the page source. Can be set before the element is defined. |
state | "empty" | "ready" | "revealed" | "done" | Current phase (read-only). |
fingerprint | string | null | The fingerprint kept after the wipe (the attribute when set, otherwise computed: prefix…last 4, “10 codes”, “24-word phrase”). |
guarded | boolean | True while leaving would lose a secret nobody confirmed as saved (ready or revealed). |
confirmed / copied / downloaded | boolean | Gate satisfied, value copied (button or manual selection), file downloaded (read-only). |
strings | Partial<Record<string, string>> | Overrides for every visible text and announcement ({label} = noun inside a sentence, {Label} = at the start). English defaults, e.g. noteTitle, noteText, prepare, reveal, holdReveal, holdHint, confirmCheck, retypeKey, retypeItem, retypeWord, continue, gateHint, doneText, lost, rotate, rotateTitle, rotateText, leaveTitle, leaveText, fingerprintList, fingerprintWords, announceReveal, announceCopied, announceSaved. |
Methods
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
reveal() | Shows the secret (ready → revealed), focuses it and emits mv-reveal. Returns false unless ready. |
copy() | Copies the value (Clipboard API, textarea fallback; lists one per line, words space-separated). Resolves to true on success. |
download() / print() | Same as the buttons; work even when the attributes hide them. Return false unless revealed. |
finish({ force? }) | Ends the step as Continue does (emits mv-saved). Requires the gate unless force is true (method "api"). |
leave({ reason? }) | Call before an in-app navigation or closing a dialog. Resolves true when nothing is at risk or the user chose “Leave anyway” (the secret is then wiped, state done with data-unconfirmed), false if they stayed or mv-leave was canceled. |
rotate({ confirm? }) | Opens the rotate confirmation (done state), or rotates right away with { confirm: false }. Resolves true once mv-rotate went through. |
Events
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
mv-reveal | The value was revealed. detail: { kind: "key" | "list" | "words", count }. |
mv-copy | The value was copied. detail: { method: "button" | "keyboard" | "api" }, never the value. |
mv-download / mv-print | The file was downloaded (detail: { filename }) or the print dialog opened. |
mv-clipboard-clear | The clipboard was overwritten by clear-clipboard. |
mv-saved | Cancelable. The user confirmed and pressed Continue. detail: { method: "checkbox" | "retype" | "api", copied, downloaded, fingerprint }. Record the acknowledgement on your server; preventDefault() keeps the secret on screen. |
mv-leave | Cancelable. The user is leaving with the secret not confirmed as saved. detail: { reason: "unload" | "navigate" | string, state }. preventDefault() suppresses the built-in warning (the beforeunload prompt or the inline “Leave without saving?”) so you can show your own; leave() then resolves false. |
mv-rotate | Cancelable. Rotation confirmed. detail: { fingerprint, waitUntil(promise) }. Pass your revoke-and-regenerate request to waitUntil: the button shows a busy state, a rejection shows an error, and a promise resolving to a string or array loads it as the new secret (ready state, created now). |
Content structure
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
<template> child | Alternative to the secret property, read once at mount then removed: text (lines = list items) or <li> elements. It is visible in the page source, so prefer the property. |
CSS classes
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
mv-reveal-once-head / -icon / -title / -meta / -badge | Header: state icon (key, shield when saved), label, creation line, “Shown once” / “Saved” / “Not confirmed” badge (data-tone). |
mv-reveal-once-stage | The value box (data-kind): -placeholder and -cover with -reveal (-hold-fill) and -hint when ready, -value when revealed, -fingerprint (-fp-prefix, -fp-ellipsis, -fp-tail, -fp-label) when done. |
mv-reveal-once-chunk / -glyphs / -list / -item / -num / -word | Rendered value: chunks carry data-prefix, data-sep, data-tail; digits and symbols are spans with data-k="d" | "s". |
mv-reveal-once-note / -prepare | Before the reveal: the once-only statement and the “Have ready” list. |
mv-reveal-once-tools / -btn / -cliphint | Copy, Download, Print and Hide / Show buttons (data-feedback="done" | "error" after an action). |
mv-reveal-once-gate / -check / -retype / -gate-hint / -continue | The saved-confirmation gate; Continue has data-locked until it is satisfied. |
mv-reveal-once-record / -rotate | After: what is kept and the “Lost it? Rotate” action. |
mv-reveal-once-alert | Inline confirmation (data-kind="leave" | "rotate"). |
CSS variables
| Name | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
--mv-reveal-once-accent | var(--mv-accent) | Revealed box ring and the dotted underline of the tail chunk. |
--mv-reveal-once-digit | info mixed with fg | Color of digits in the value. |
--mv-reveal-once-symbol | danger mixed with fg | Color of symbols in the value. |
--mv-reveal-once-ok | var(--mv-success) | Saved badge, copied feedback, retype match. |
--mv-reveal-once-warn | var(--mv-warning) | “Shown once” badge, leave warning, unconfirmed state. |
--mv-reveal-once-font-size | 0.9375rem | Size of the monospace value. |
--mv-reveal-once-radius | var(--mv-radius-xl) | Corner radius of the card. |
Accessibility
The element is a role=group named by its label. Before the reveal it holds no character of the secret: the dotted placeholder is aria-hidden and the Reveal button is described by a hint (“Press and hold, or hold Space. Make sure nobody can see your screen.”). Hold mode works with pointer, touch (no callout, no scroll) and Space or Enter held (key repeat ignored, blur releases); since assistive technologies activate buttons with a plain click and cannot hold, a click with no press behind it arms the button (“Activate again to reveal”, announced) and a second activation reveals. After the reveal, focus moves to the value (a labelled group, tabindex=-1) and a polite role=status region says it is shown only once. Keys are read character by character: each chunk has visually hidden spelled text (“9 f 3 a,”) while the visible glyphs are aria-hidden; the spelled text is excluded from selection so a manual copy stays exact. Codes are an ordered list, seed-phrase words are read as words. Copy, downloads, hiding and clearing the clipboard are announced; digits and symbols are tinted but never only by color (monospace, slashed zero). The gate is a real checkbox or a labelled text field with aria-invalid and a linked error; Continue stays focusable and, while locked, explains why and moves focus to the gate instead of doing nothing. The inline Leave / Rotate confirmation is a labelled group that receives focus on the safe choice (Stay / Cancel), Escape closes it and focus returns where it was. After saving, focus moves to the fingerprint, read as “Production API key ending in 9 f 3 a”. Reduced motion (OS or data-motion="reduce"): no unveil, no sliding fingerprint, no height animation; the hold fill still runs because it is the time left. Forced colors: system borders and a Highlight fill. Security: the value never appears in event details, logs or storage, the secret getter returns null, masking removes the characters from the DOM, the wipe happens before any animation, the page leaving (pagehide, including the back-forward cache) or the element being removed wipes an unconfirmed secret, and JavaScript strings cannot be zeroed, so “removed from memory” means every reference is dropped.
