It would be nice if I could get SMS 2FA-type notifcations on my desktop without having to use my phone.

I probably wouldn't use Signal with it, since Beeper's own page seems to suggest that sending Signal messages with it would be less secure! And, I guess, SMS isn't secure to begin with . . .

If I download and install Element, and then look at the SMS bridges available on Matrix's website, the recommended bridge instructions sends me over to Beeper, since I don't have my own server. Old and confused here . . .

Wise concern. I never tried Beeper, either, despite becoming eligible from the waitlist.
