On many traditional chat platforms, if your password is exposed, hackers can log in and read your entire chat history. This happens because the data is stored on the server in a decryptable format.
👉🏻 With SOC Connect, everything is completely different, all conversations are protected with end-to-end encryption.
👉🏻 That means only you and the recipient have the keys to decrypt the content. Even if someone steals your password or hacks into the server, all they’ll see are meaningless strings of data.
So what is a Recovery Key?
- When you join a conversation, each chat room has its own “unique key” used to decrypt messages.
- All those “chat room keys” are then secured inside a “safe vault”.
- Recovery Key is the “master key” that unlocks this vault, it’s randomly generated as a 12-word phrase that only you possess, and it’s never stored on the server.
The outstanding benefits of Recovery Key include:
Secure history recovery
Allows you to decrypt your entire chat history when you lose or change your device.
No one but you can read your messages
Because the server only stores encrypted key versions, even administrators have no way to decrypt them.
Absolute security
You can reset your password if it’s lost, but losing your Recovery Key means you’ll never be able to read your old chat history again.
👉🏻 With SOC Connect, passwords are just for logging in, but Recovery Key is the real soul of security.
👉🏻 Take a look at this example, the account is logged in, but without the Recovery Key, all messages remain unreadable:
📌 To protect the security of your chat history, you need to:
1️⃣ Go to “Settings”.
2️⃣ Go to “Security”.
3️⃣ Under “Secure Backup”, click “Set Up”.
4️⃣ Click “Use A Security Key”.
5️⃣ Click “Save” and don’t forget to backup this Recovery Key.
📌 Enable the advanced option “never send messages to untrusted sessions” to keep your account safe even if it’s compromised. This way, any intruder won’t new messages - while you’ll continue to receive them normally on your trusted device.
Recovery Key is your ultimate shield. It’s both the key that decrypts all your content and the protective layer that keeps your chat history completely confidential, safe from every prying eye.
