It would be nice if I could get SMS 2FA-type notifcations on my desktop without having to use my phone.
I probably wouldn’t use Signal with it, since Beeper’s own page seems to suggest that sending Signal messages with it would be less secure! And, I guess, SMS isn’t secure to begin with . . .
If I download and install Element, and then look at the SMS bridges available on Matrix’s website, the recommended bridge instructions sends me over to Beeper, since I don’t have my own server. Old and confused here . . .
Was the onboarding process recorded?
I suppose it was for other people. I logged out after I got the warning and never got onboarded. I sent a follow up email with questions about their privacy practices, promises, and what would happen if they sold. I never received a response.
This was early in development, I don’t think they even have to do onboarding now as they’ve got all the technical backend details mostly worked out for end-users. This was very early in their existence.
