[Feature] <title>Show some sort of picture like a key on a person's ID circle, to show that they have Session password-protected on their end

[as-muncher]

Is there an existing request for feature?

• I have searched the existing issues

What feature would you like?

I would like to see if a person has password-protected Session on his end. That way I know that it is more secure for our conversations. What good is all this encryption if the front door is unlocked?

Anything else?

There needs to be a balance between user privacy and signaling. I think revealing information about how other clients are configured by indicating that they have a password set might lean a little too heavily on signaling over user privacy.

@KeeJef If someone's Session is configured in a rather insecure way, that affects my security too. I can't come out and ask someone if they have their Session password-protected: it's too easy to just say yes or no.

See....Missing password protection is a possibility for security / privacy problem, however there are much more significant threats that you should be warned about, but clearly never will, because it will ScArE uSeRS on reality of our situation.

• Microsoft Pluton is a chip-to-cloud backdoor inside pretty much 100% of all modern desktop and mobile CPUs.
  Which means that you can NOT guarantee safety of your contacts, unless you personally know for a fact that contact and yourself are using older CPU released before 17 November 2020, RISC-V (and make sure it's implementation is 100% open-source), or if it's mobile Google Pixel with GrapheneOS installed.
• Microsoft Windows 11 - is a 100% guarantee that all of your communications and passwords will be spied on through AI.
• Apple MacOS & iOS - is a 100% guarantee that all of your communications and passwords will be spied on through AI.

tl;dr even if you're using older CPU desktop with Linux and Google Pixel with GrapheneOS, like myself - it's nearly impossible that any of your contact will, so assume your communications are not safe by default, regardless of which messenger is used .
