### Have you considered any alternatives?

_No response_

### Additional context

I am also logged in on my phone. But every time I am logged out from a device, I am unable to see the old messages.

And I believe that if I was able to recover my Security Key, I could back up my messages and thus recover them when logging in on a new device.
