What is Safe Chat?
Safe Chat is a chat program to protect your privacy. It is
designed to be extremely easy to use, with all cool features,
but with highest security through strong encryption. For more
information, open «About Safe Chat» in the menu
() above.
Never forget your Password!
This messenger is absolutely secure. But on the other hand,
that means, no one except you knows your password. No one can
read your messages exept you, not even our administrator. It
is technically impossible to restore a password. You would
have to delete your account and create a new one. In that
case, all messages are lost.
Keys and Password
Safe Chat internally uses OpenPGP for public/private-key
encryption. Your password is not transfered to the server and
not stored, it is used only to create and encrypt your private
key. There are two keys, a secret private key, that is stored
in the browser (or app) on your computer, encrypted with your
password and not sent to the server. There is also public key,
which is sent to the server and used by other users to encrypt
messages that only you can read. You can backup and restore
your keys and setings to and from a file. This is the only way
to transfer your account to another browser or to computer. Do
not delete your browser's local storage unless you have backed
up your keys.
Password Forgotten
Warning!
You loose all messages.
You loose your account name.
You should backup now, before you continue!
You can only remove your local data. You will have to
create a new account with a new name on the server. This
means, you loose all your messages and you loose your
account name forever. This chat program is secure, nobody
can restore your password. Without password, you can't
decrypt your messages.
