# Secure backup
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
By default, Element strongly encourages (but does not require) users to set up
|
||||||
|
Secure Backup so that cross-signing identity key and message keys can be
|
||||||
|
recovered in case of a disaster where you lose access to all active devices.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Requiring secure backup
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To require Secure Backup to be configured before Element can be used, set the
|
||||||
|
following on your homeserver's `/.well-known/matrix/client` config:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```json
|
||||||
|
{
|
||||||
|
"io.element.e2ee": {
|
||||||
|
"secure_backup_required": true
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Compatibility
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The settings above were first proposed under a `im.vector.riot.e2ee` key, which
|
||||||
|
is now deprecated. Element will check for either key, preferring
|
||||||
|
`io.element.e2ee` if both exist.
