Since some more keys were generated I hit key backup or recovery agin (or was it yet another menu entry?) and it spit out a long recovery key that I should keep safe. So that'd be: my account password, a backup passphrase and a recovery key.

Again: I know that crypto is hard and adding it after the fact is always messy, but in the current state it's just a nightmare for a non-technical user.

It's obvious that #Luxchat will have to be way more than just a skin for an existing app. 2/n

Given that #Luxchat will be Matrix-based, I finally tried out the #Matrix / #Element ecosystem. To be frank: If I didn't have reasonable cryptographic knowledge I wouldn't have the slightest idea what is going on:
At the second start of the app it gave a cryptic message about re-authentication and a subsequent warning about data loss. Key backup is rather manual and I have to provide a passphrase that should be different from my password. Cross-signing has to be enabled manually. 1/n

#Luxchat seems to be #Matrix-based. Here's from end of August:

@klotiii Et ass jo eng Open Source-Basis fir #Luxchat erwänt. Ech kéint mer virstellen, dass se sech op #Matrix baséieren. En gros: sech inspiréiere bei deem, wat de franséische Staat gemaach huet.

#MarcHansen announced the launch of #Luxchat a #messagingservice📲 made in 🇱🇺 at the #LID2022.
The instant messenger will provide a secure means of communication within the #publicsector and will also be opened to the general public in a 2nd step.
