Description

Hello,

It is pleasing that /discardsession can be used to fix the "unable to decrypt"-error; but there might be users, that are not able to post commands. If the client recognizes this type of error, you sometimes see a kind of command link to get the decryption keys from another device. You could add another command link to "fix the connection" --> which would detect which of the sessions is faulty and discard it. Ideally this would not only work on the users device; but also on a faulty peer.

My mother and grandmother are experiencing this type of problem. If one could simply click such a link and the clients would find and eliminate the faulty session, this would be nice.
