Which app would qualify in your case? Signal suffers from the same client-side problem.
- ycombinatrix 3y agonot by default, which is a massive difference.
- aryaneja 3y agoI am not sure what the answer is here. What you are arguing for will hurt regular users who will lose their digital lives if they lose their passwords. Signal will be backed-up on iCloud _by default_ and client side will be an issue.
- lupusreal 3y ago"lose their digital lives" is hyperbolic emotive language. We're talking about a loss of chat history, not the death of people. Lots of people lose their chat histories all the time, it hurts but people get over it.
- modeless 3y ago> Signal will be backed-up on iCloud _by default_ No, it absolutely is not. It seems like you don't have a good understanding of how actual E2EE systems work.
- _flux 3y agoMatrix also provides the ability to back up keys in the server, but you select a separate passphrase for encrypting them before they're uploaded. (Yes, it would be nice if the user didn't need two passphrases for this use, but Matrix cannot safely revert to key derivation because client could accidentally leak the master password to the server due to existing implementations.)
- the_gipsy 3y agoDon't know why you got downvoted, it's a very good question. I've been using matrix. It's e2ee and multiple client sessions seem to be working just fine, they all sync without problems.
