 ===== Logging into Matrix: =====
-There are several Matrix clients for various platforms available; see [[https://matrix.org/ecosystem/clients/|https://matrix.org]] for specifics.  An easy way to get started is to point your web browser at [[https://app.element.io/#/login|https://element.io/#/login]], a browser-based Matrix client that is free to use.  The default "Homeserver" is //matrix.org//; you will need to click "edit" and change this to //matrix.sdf.org//, then enter your login credentials and click "Sign in".  Once you've successfully signed in you'll likely be prompted to create a secondary passphrase which will be used to create encryption keys for your account. Subsequent logins will then prompt for either the passphrase or the security key.
