From April 2026 element will only allow verificated devices to communicate.

https://element.io/blog/verifying-your-devices-is-becoming-mandatory-2/

Problem now is, due to device changes in the past (those devices dont exist anymore) i can not "verificate" my current device.

There is a warning that says:

  1. verify with other device (i cant)
  2. Reset everything
  3. skip

i clicked that skip button for a while now....but i fear thats gona become impossible in a few days.

so i tryed the "Reset everthing" button and then it said "Error: Cannot find secrets in storage"....

I have no idea what to do now D:

I pitched element as messenger to a bunch of friends and they also running into the same problem....

So do you currently have any devices where all your messages are readable? As long as you do it should be solvable.
