First sign-in to Secure Rooms: key generation, passphrase requirements, the one-time recovery code and the 'remember this device' option.

Verifying encryption: safety numbers and signatures

Rooms and invitations

Creating rooms, inviting participants, history visibility, key grants and key epochs: what happens when members join or are removed.

Reports and moderation in Secure Rooms

What Secure Rooms do NOT protect against
