What FlowCrypt Settings to Use for Maximum Security?

Hello, I’m in a situation where I need to use the maximum security possible. What should I do?

What you want is this:

1. Choose a very strong passphrase. It should be at least 20 characters long.

2. Choose the “Always require passphrase to open encrypted messages” option. Please refer to the Require a Passphrase for Email Decryption guide for more details on how to activate this option.

3. When messaging people who don’t use FlowCrypt, add a sufficiently strong password that you can communicate to them through alternative means such as a phone call or WhatsApp.

4. Use full disk encryption on your device with a strong password.

5. Eventually move off US-based email services.

6. Using Linux, or at least a Mac may be a better choice compared to Windows.

7. Set a very strong password on your phone. For example, you can use a password that contains Latin letters, numbers, and symbols.

8. Use two-factor authentication on all of your online accounts to receive a text with a code every time you want to log in or use Google Authenticator or Authy.
