Your use case

What would you like to do?

Add hint, (a link to) help, or tooltip to explain what "Security Key" (and "Security Phrase"), "E2E room key", and so-called "encryption keys" are.

Why would you like to do it?

Because it is hard for ordinary non-tech savvy people to understand them. Recently I tried to explain to one of my friends what they were, when they were to be used, how they were different each other, but it took a very long time for the person to grasp the basic reason why there were multiple types of keys.

How would you like to achieve it?

I am not sure, but I suspect that some kind of graphical aid or illustration on user onboarding UI would help for them to become familiar with the basic concept, as soon as they signed up.

Have you considered any alternatives?

Thank you for reporting this issue @luixxiul . This should be solved cross-platform. There is already an existing issue in Element-Meta. Can you add the missing word over there?
