You’ve received an image that’s been protected with Confidencial…now what? This tutorial walks you through what to do. We’re going to pretend you are Bob who works at The Example Hotel, you’ve never used Confidencial before, and one of your international guests, Happy Traveler, has sent you a photo of her passport.
If you open the image that you received from Happy in your default image viewer, you will see an image like that above. You will be able to see all the parts of the image that Happy chose not to protect. To see the protected parts, continue to the steps below.
ℹ️
Since Confidencial’s in-doc encryption keeps documents in their original file format, they can be opened with your default application (Microsoft Photos in the example above).
Since we’re assuming in this example that you’ve never used Confidencial before and that your guest has sent you an invite to Confidencial, the next step is to accept this invite to create a login. Go to your inbox and click the link in the invitation email. From there, you will create a password and generate your encryption keys.
💡
If you already have a Confidencial account, you can skip this step. If you don’t have a Confidencial account and haven’t been invited, you can sign up here.
