Signal Login is an optional registration method that allows users to create a Signal account without providing a phone number.

Signal has started rolling out Signal Login, an optional registration method that allows users to create a Signal account without providing a phone number. The feature will be rolled out first on Android and will come to iOS later.

As we previously reported, Signal Login is not a free alternative registration method. Signal requires users who choose to register without a phone number to make a one-time payment. The price at launch is $2.99 / € 3.49, although this may vary by region and currency.

    I think we’re talking past each other. To refer to your previous comment:

    Forward secrecy protects against intercepting now and decrypting later when you get access to the users private key: this is only possible on delta chat if you get access to the client database at which point you can read all undeleted messages anyway

    Or if you run an evil relay that logs encrypted messages, and later you get the single necessary private key. Which is the problem.
