Description
On https://ostel.co/users are newbie instructions for setting up OSTel. They contain this paragraph about self-testing:
After you install the app on your mobile device with your account information, you can test that everything is working by calling the user code named 9196. In this echo test, you should hear your own voice when you speak into the phone. You should also see "ZRTP - OK" in the yellow bar near the top of the screen, letting you know that the encryption is working. Now you can place free and secure calls to your friends who also have Ostel set up. To ensure maximum security, confirm that the same 4-digit encryption code appears on both phones.However, when the user actually performs this test, the first thing they'll see is a popup asking them to confirm the encryption key (which I think was "16-ay"). While this is standard UX and they will confirm encryption keys with real interlocutors, a new user can't be expected to know what this four-digit code is -- and the setup tutorial is for new users. Recommend changing the text to let the user expect the encryption key confirmation step.
Best,
