Question 1

Receiving Anonymous Messages

Accepted Answer

To use this feature, you will need to have Anonymous Messages enabled in Settings.

To check to make sure this feature is enabled:

Log in to Cyph

Open app or navigate to cyph.app

Select Settings
Select the drop-down next to Enable/Disable Features
Make sure the slider for Anonymous Inbox is turned to the On position (purple slider)

To turn it off, move the slider to the Off position (gray slider)

To check your Anonymous Inbox, just go to Messaging.

The Anonymous Inbox is opened immediately upon selecting it.

NOTE: If you don't have any anonymous messages, you will see: You have no messages.

You can SEND an anonymous message to someone that you know, if they have the feature enabled, by going to the following URL: https://cyph.me/ username.

Replace username with the username of the user, such as https://cyph.me/johntitor.

NOTE: If you are logged in, it will just take you to the profile of the user. This will be considered a "normal message".

To send an Anonymous Message:

Once you have gone to the url of the user, select the Envelope Icon (New Message)
Provide the requested information to send a message

Name
Email
Phone Number
Subject
Message

Send message

Question 2

Burner

Accepted Answer

Burner is a feature that allows instantly calling or chatting with non-Cyph-users. Anyone you chat with can remain anonymous, Cyph's end-to-end encrypted Castle messaging is still used, and the contents of a session are lost forever as soon as you close it.

How To Start a Burner Session

Log in to Cyph

Open app or navigate to cyph.app

Go to Messaging

If on mobile, go to Contacts

Go to New Burner Chat, located at the top of the contacts list

Send the link displayed to someone you want to communicate securely with

Once someone navigates to the link you provide, a secure connection will establish

Once connected, you can chat, use video call, and send files (up to 100 MB on Desktop, up to 25 MB on mobile)

By selecting the "+" symbol, and selecting the "?" button, you can find Markdown Formatting suggestions

Question 6

Account Verification Period

Accepted Answer

After registering your account, you'll have limited access to solo only features (e.g. Vault file storage, passwords, and notes) until your public key is signed by Cyph. This process allows for our automatic ID verification process, which ensures that you're not just having an encrypted conversation, but also that it's with the right person. This protects Cyph users from Man-In-The-Middle and impersonation attacks.

The signing process should take no more than 48 hours to complete. As batches of accounts are generally processed multiple times per day, it typically will occur within 12-24 hours, but often happens faster.

Again, while you're restricted from interacting with other users until you're verified, you're still able to set up your profile and start using the Vault.
