I seem to have an issue with the encryption plug-in seems to be twofold

First I noted I could read a PM from my transactional email service

 ![test](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/8/c/b/8cbe54311d1c1239daee765e229317dca9e3d5dc.png)

So I sent that test message to someone who recently just had to reactivate their encryption, they lost their key, so I feel confident they do have it working

It can be read, I didn’t think that was possible

As I had set up a second account today to test a different setting I decided to log into that and send my own

Here’s the second thing

This is whats at the top as expected, new account, alert to set up and save a key pair

As it was a test I didn’t set it up earlier and when I logged in I found

I could not even send an email , so a new user who doesn’t set up their account loses that top notice about keys

When I go to security to set it up

It just reads to activate with the appearance there is a key

click activate and it reads wrong key

So I delete the key I never set up and it reads

Save the key and go back

Still missing the email button

So I decide to send one to that account and find a new PM has me entered to receive already populated, a third issue IMO

I got it but still can’t find a way to navigate to my inbox

As I was logged into both no email was sent to test but is this a bug?

This was solved as a TL0 issue

This I’m thinking is due to my machine being registered to read the PM?

I found others and they could not be read

Seems a better warning needs to be in place on the paper key needing to be set up right away as the forum seems to think you did if you log out and back in, no change

> [@anon48433008](#):

Still an odd thing I don’t understand

And I see this somewhat often which is not understood in the PM’s

Its odd as soon as you give a like it disappears

Discourse Encrypt has [been deprecated](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-encrypt-deprecated/107918) we are no longer tracking issues with the plugin on meta.

To move anything forward here a third party plugin will need to be created and maintained (in a dedicated plugin topic)
