**Alternativ** zum "Sicherheitsschlüssel generieren" können Sie sich auch selbst eine starke Sicherheitsphrase (bitte nicht das Hochschulpasswort!) erstellen. Weiterhin wird der Sicherungsschlüssel zusätzlich zur Sicherheitsphrase erstellt und sollte als Notfallschlüssel sicher und wiederauffindbar verwahrt werden. Die Sicherheitsphrase wird immer einzugeben sein, wenn Schlüssel mit der Schlüsselsicherung synchronisiert werden sollen.

If not set up after initial registration: The **Key Backup** is a valuable achievement, as it enables the keys of all end-to-end encrypted calls to be centrally secured on the Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences server with a password. This allows convenient use of multiple devices or matrix clients. To do so, click on "Start using key backup" and choose a strong security phrase (but not the University password). This security phrase will always have to be entered if keys are to be synchronized with the key backup.
