wait are the safety numbers secret keys? Really?! @moxie care to explain the change?
-
-
what are they? Are they secret keys? Something else?
-
They are just sorted and concatenated pub keys. The qr code embeds the contacts phone number.
-
so only the QR code has the contact #. that's not what other people told me. I'll update. still bad UI.
-
I feel the safety numbers appear to be a UX regression but
@moxie usually has good reasons for things. -
QR codes were formerly safe to share and now are not, with no clarification. not good.
-
Safe in the sense that the old QR codes let folks verify authenticity wo learning how to contact you
-
yes, & since folks shared those old QR codes on twitter etc, new users think that's okay practice.
