## Preferring setup methods
By default, Element offers users a choice of a random key or user-chosen
passphrase when setting up Secure Backup. If a homeserver admin would like to
only offer one of these, you can signal this via the
`/.well-known/matrix/client` config, for example:
```json
{
"io.element.e2ee": {
"secure_backup_setup_methods": ["passphrase"]
}
}
```
The field `secure_backup_setup_methods` is an array listing the methods the
client should display. Supported values currently include `key` and
`passphrase`. If the `secure_backup_setup_methods` field is not present or
exists but does not contain any supported methods, Element will fallback to the
default value of: `["key", "passphrase"]`.
