Your account on a second phone

Point the new phone at a square on the old one and it is yours too, without spending a recovery code. Each device has its own key, so a message is encrypted for every phone you hold and for nobody else's, and a device you have lost can be dropped from the account on its own.

How it works

  1. On the phone you already use, choose Open Siren on another device and get a code.

  2. Point the new phone's camera at the square, or type the code under I already have an account. It works once and lasts five minutes.

  3. Each device has its own key, so every new message is encrypted for all the phones you hold.

  4. A new phone cannot open what arrived before it. Your old phone can send it the keys, once six words match on both screens.

Where to find it

You → Devices and alerts → Open Siren on another device.

What it will not do

Siren cannot move your history to a new phone by itself. Only a phone of yours can, and nobody opens your messages along the way.

Why it works this way

Recovery codes are for the day you lose everything, not for adding a laptop, so a second device should not spend one. Keys that belong to each device mean a phone you have lost can be dropped from your account without touching the others.

Free forever, for every woman here.
