2 years agoThanks for the suggestion! That system seems a little confusing to me since it would require that a user manage the saving of both a passkey and the "certificate" which is similar to having to work with both an account password and Secret Key today.

Are you able to provide examples of other services, that also use end-to-end encryption and not just authentication, that work with certificates of the type that you mentioned?
