  • Start with an account with working 4S/cross-signing, but no key backup on the server. (One way to achieve this is to delete any existing key backup.)
  • On "Security & Privacy" settings, under "Secure Backup", click "Set up"
  • Enter 4S Security key/phrase

Observe:

In the console:

Steps to reproduce:

Add this to Element Web config and restart:

    "features": {
        "feature_rust_crypto": true
    },
  • Log out and register a brand new user
  • Go to Settings > Security and Privacy
  • Under Secure Backup choose Set up
  • Generate security key and keep a copy
  • Click Delete to delete the backup
  • Under Secure Backup choose Set up again
  • Observe the error message "Unable to create key backup"
