There was also that idea about using a QR code to transfer between
desktop/laptop and mobile devices 😀

It should be easier to use the app from multiple devices. To do that, we
need an easy way to get the key on those devices. A few ideas:
Implement a separate key store service that will save private keys.
This should be completely separate from the central data store and
ridiculously secure.Save the key to dropbox. This could even be as an HTML file, which
has a big link to the app with the key as part of the hash, which could
then be copied into localStorageGoogle Authenticator or something like it. I think this requires
that the server has the key, so this probably isn't a great option if we
want to keep the keys off the server.—

Dropbox is a nice solution, but it's too permanent and provides a the context about who the key belongs to.
Instead of a true store service I like the idea of sending them in a transient manner like This Message Will Self-Destruct.
Flow could work something like this:
- User requests to send private key
- Private key is securely stored without any context about owner, identified by a UUID
- UUID is transferred to the client receiving the key, mechanism doesn't matter but could go through swordfish account.
- Client requests the key, the key is sent and immediately destroyed
Temporary passcode protection could go on top of this too, like they do with This Message Will Self-Destruct.
