This screen is for setting up secure backup, which is used to backup your encryption keys. The passphrase is for logging into your account, and is not applicable here.

In Riotx (last time i set the keys) there are 3 options, recovery key, passphrase key or file.

SpiritCroc commented 3 years ago

I don't see this option in Element either.

Wandelstock commented 3 years ago

Okay, i will look into that. Thanks!

I did a clean install of Element and there are 2 options: Recovery passphrase and recovery key.

Looks like this is an old bug in the security part. It was at the moment very hard to get devices trusted (Element 1.0.4 is still very buggy)
