Description

Not a security issue. Just a UI bug.

When you use the forget password interface, it allows you to "Export E2E room keys" which seemingly completes (would be a security issue) but it doesn't actually export anything sensitive. This could mislead someone into thinking they did backup their E2E keys though.

Steps to reproduce

  • Attempt to reset password through forgot password mechanism
  • Warning appears telling you to export E2E room keys

The warning should appear but button allowing you to export E2E keys should not appear (unless you are logged in and it can actually export the E2E keys

Log: not sent
