An idea for private userscripts

Before you say I can do unlisted, yes, I know, that's not what the idea is about.

By doing unlisted, it can't be found by regular search, but anyone that shares the link can open it. Heck, anyone can brute force their way and find all the unlisted scripts that way.

Now, by doing private, it would require a special authorization string, that way, it can be used by me and only me without worrying that someone can "accidentally" find it.

I'd really appreciate if private userscripts/styles were possible.

The point of the site is to share what you made with everyone, so I don't think this is useful.

If you're choosing specific people to send it to, you could host it on any platform and just send them the URL.

Consider it another way of testing a script on multiple machines. I really don't like 'unlisted' as it gives a false promise that the script can't be found.
