# 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.
