That feature (cross-signing) is yet to be implemented, I'm afraid. It's planned for version 0.3.0.

Previously, this could still be done by using the "manually verify by text" button on Element but Element has recently removed that feature.

It isn't removed, it just doesn't work.

@notramo Element Web has removed "verify by text" in recent versions. Other verification methods, like by emoji or QR code, meanwhile, are not implemented by Syphon.

[notramo]

It shouldn't be removed, as Hydrogen, Syphon, Cinny and many other clients only provide text verification.
It can't be opened from the Settings panel, but if you open your profile by clicking your avatar in any room, then you can verify the device with text from there.
However, after I compared the keys, and they matched, and clicked OK, the verified client didn't appear as verified, so it's broken.

I see. That's interesting. I wonder if it's a regression in Syphon or a bug in Element.

Is that only for Syphon or other clients as well?

I haven't checked yet. But it shouldn't matter, as it is the task of Element to sign it.

Possibly related: #435

[0x1a8510f2]

Not necessarily. I remember there being an issue where Syphon would incorrectly initialise the session or something (no clue about Matrix encryption stuff) which broke text-based verification. This has since been fixed, but may have regressed.

I'll check along with #435

Syphon does not yet support interactive session verification. Please see our FAQ for details on how to find manual verification in Element

also #126 is still open

This is because cross-signing is also yet to be implemented.

All of this functionality is roadmapped for our 0.3.0 release
