'Signal, the encrypted chat app powered by Open Whisper Systems, is finally available as a desktop app. '
'We reached out to Open Whisper Systems to ask how they handled the desktop challenge and will update if we hear back. '
'What we do know is that Signal will now allow users to link their mobile accounts to a desktop app, so they can receive their messages on two devices. '
'In keeping with crypto best practices, Signal stores a user’s decryption key on their mobile device. '
' All users have to do is update Signal on their phones, download the desktop version at signal.org/desktop, and scan a QR code to link the new device. '
