Security
End to end encryption is client based so you need to export and backup your room encryption keys from at least one device otherwise there is a risk that you loose your keys to decrypt your messages.
Secure your room encryption key
- Connect to the IIHE Matrix server.
- Export your room encryption key with passphrase from the security menu.
- Save your exported key in a password manager.
- When connecting a new device import your room encryption key.
Using more than one client requires verification to ensure security, it is also recommended to verify other users in-person to prevent identity theft.
