Simpler, safer device linking
Adding a phone or tablet is now a single QR scan with nothing secret in the code — and one less step to get wrong.
- Link a new device by scanning one QR — no code to type, no key to paste. The new device shows a QR; your existing phone scans it, and your sync is sent across securely. That’s it.
- Your key never travels in the QR. The code carries only a one-time public key; your devices do the rest, so a photo or screen-recording of it gives nothing away. (Previously the link QR carried your encryption key directly.)
- One clear fallback. If you don’t have your other phone to hand, Restore from sync key still rejoins from your saved key. The old type-the-8-character-code-and-paste-your-key path is gone — it asked for more and gave no more.
