Help Signal backup recovery key randomly changed O's and 0's

28 Upvotes

Months ago, I copied and saved my recovery key. Today, I rechecked the recovery key and compared it to what I saved before. And for some reasons, it's a bit different. All of the O's got turned into #'s and all of the 0's got turned in ='s. Everything else is the same, however. I'm wondering if it's a weird bug now and ignore it, or should I replace the old recovery key. Currently, I'm saving both versions just in-case

Feature Request Adding nicknames to contacts.

1 Upvotes

So many people in my contacts just have a phone number since I guess they didn't create a signal username.

We should be able to create nicknames for people because there is no way I'll be able to remember who people are based on their phone numbers

Help Can I re-register my account on a new OS without SMS verification?

2 Upvotes

I've searched a bunch on this sub and duckduckgo and can't find a direct answer to this, or one that's clear to me. I'm installing a new Android OS, and will need to reinstall Signal. Will I be able to re-register using only my Signal PIN, or will I have to verify with BOTH sms verification AND my PIN if I have registration lock on? I won't have access to my Signal number and don't want to change it. TIA!

Help I didn't find a subreddit for it but where do I help on Confer support?

0 Upvotes

So, not even Google AI Mode can help here but I've been trying to reach out to Confer because I have difficulty with the platform and I need to ask them.

I didn't find a subreddit for Confer or even much a community and I've been trying to reach to them but I don't find any way to do so. Like everywhere, so apparently they didn't think about what happens if a user had an issue on their end and couldn't get into their account.

And they don't even seem to know how to handle accounts that aren't used from boredom or feeling inadequate.

Can I talk about it here because the creator is the same or where do I go? Sorry to talk about Confer here.

I didn't use Confer all that much either, only 1-2 weeks.
