# Secure backup
|
||||
|
||||
By default, Element strongly encourages (but does not require) users to set up
|
||||
Secure Backup so that cross-signing identity key and message keys can be

||||
recovered in case of a disaster where you lose access to all active devices.
|
||||
|

## Requiring secure backup
|
||||
|

"im.vector.e2ee": {

"secureBackupRequired": true

}

}
