maybe a hot take.... but beeper. makes it way easier to manager the keys and crap with an email login for those that loose their passwords all the time. and linking their other favortire socials might be a selling point. but if youre super cautious/paranoid, they have ways to run your own server. (i use their servers...)
Does the new Beeper Android client already work with Matrix messages? I tested it briefly after the release, but it basically didn't support regular Matrix at all yet
so unfortunately, you can't log into your matrix account, but rather it creates a @username:beeper.com account. Which (if you bug them) you can use to log into your favorite matrix client. but you can then join our favorite rooms and chat folks using normal matrix commands.
Yeah, you can use Element web and reset the account password using "forgot password" to use the beeper homeserver, but OP is asking about Android clients
The Beeper client is 100% not usable for Matrix-to-Matrix messaging, I don't think it even supports e2ee, but I have heard they're working on it.
I'm talking about the android client for beeper but have used it for nheko...and it does support e2ee. I use it for all matrix convos and rooms. Maybe something changed in the time you last used it and I signed up, but yeah not having any e2ee issues once I verified the key
It supports E2EE.
