Owner

Let users log in via a qr code and give them the option to log in as a "restricted session"

Restricted sessions do not allow fetching old messages from chats - only new messages sent/received after session creation.
Restricted sessions are short lived.

Users should be warned if they are trying to log in a session via QR code if their location differs by a lot to prevent scam/account takeover.

This is a very innovative and interesting idea. I think this is a big win for me who is using public computers or ones I can’t guarantee to be safe.
Really interested in senden in general. Hope it goes into beta soon!
