New on desktop and iOS: πSign in with QR code Securely transfer your Farcaster recovery phrase between 2 devices. Foundation for a web client without asking a user to type their recovery phrase in a browser (good security UX) and multi-device, multi-platform E2EE direct casts.
E2EE, using AES-256-GCM. Thanks to @cassie, @nickcherry and @gt for all the hard work here. Android will launch later tonight or tomorrow.

awesome update! pasting seed phrases *anywhere* is really scary. this is good.
My original motives were nefarious, sign-in as @dwr using his QR code. But I ended find one of the better videos describing the FC architecture. π€£
Does this make the FC mobile client an auth device? And does this mean importing the seed to metamask or similar in order to build web clients that are secure is no longer necessary?
