11 years into the development of #Conversations_im, I’m still working to enhance its security. Most recently, I’ve added support for XEP-0474: SASL SCRAM Downgrade Protection.

To take advantage of our continued commitment to security, make sure to:

· Use Conversations rather than a (soon-to-be-abandoned) fork

· Install Conversations through a source that provides automatic updates (F-Droid for Android 12+ or Google Play)

@daniel Thanks! That's really impressive the stuff that went into #XMPP to improve usage and security, both by the spec people and those writing servers and cliens! Is this xep depending on using SASL2?

@mazhe It works with both SASL and SASL2. However it does require server support and I believe that most if not all servers that support XEP-0474 have support for SASL2 anyway.
