Doesn’t verification also exchange encryption keys, letting you decrypt messages from before you logged in? I remember that being a huge issue where you would see unable to decrypt messages.
Probably just bad UX to let people skip the verification step.
- pkulak 1y agoYes. If you don’t verify, every conversation is empty.
- joecool1029 1y agoBut it also asks for recovery key and complains about it being out of sync until entered even if you do the verification step! Entirely possible to only get a partial recovery of messages until this is entered.
- jeroenhd 1y agoThat's not normal. It doesn't happen on any of my accounts or clients. Verification takes a moment if you're in a lot of rooms, but it exchanges all keys.
- rcxdude 1y agobeen a pretty reliable issue when I've set up a new device. Whatever keys the client is getting, they're apparently not useful. (This general flakiness of features just sometimes not working as they should is probably the main reason I haven't tried to recommend friends to switch to element)
- tcfhgj 1y agocannot confirm this either one method of verification suffices (be it recovery key or using a different device)
