Security
Built so we can't read your messages.
End-to-end encryption is on for every chat, group and call, from the first message. No setting to find, nothing to switch on.
How it works
A new key for every message.
- 1
Sealed on your device
Before a message leaves, your device locks it with a key made for that message alone.
- 2
Addressed to their devices
That key is sealed again for each device of each person in the chat — and only those devices can open it.
- 3
Relayed, never read
Our servers store and deliver the sealed message. They have no key that opens it.
Encrypted end to end
Everything you send.
- Messages in direct chats and in groups
- Photos, videos, files and voice messages
- Polls, locations, contact cards and link previews
- Voice and video calls, screen sharing and group calls
Encrypted Key Vault
Your history follows you. Your keys stay yours.
Your message keys are backed up in a vault locked with a passphrase that never leaves your device. Sign in on a new computer, enter it, and your past conversations open — we can't open the vault without it.
Privacy settings
You decide who sees each part of you.

Your account
Locked down, and you'll know if anyone tries.
Two-step sign-in
Turn on two-factor authentication and every sign-in also needs a code sent to your email.
One session at a time
Signing in on a new computer ends your other session. If the new computer isn't trusted yet, it needs a code we email you first — so a stolen password alone can't sign you out.
Trusted devices
See where you're signed in, which devices you've confirmed, and sign the others out.
Security emails
A new-device sign-in, a password or email change, or a deactivation sends you an email with a one-click “That wasn't me” link.
Activity log
A record of your sign-ins and account changes, so nothing happens without a trace.
Private file storage
Files and avatars are stored privately and served through short-lived links, never public URLs.
Leave whenever you like
Deactivate for a break, or delete your account — with 30 days to change your mind.
Strong passwords
Upper and lower case, a number and a symbol — or sign in with Google instead.
13 and over
Connectfy is for people aged 13 and older; signing up asks for your birthday.
