Every address, command and way to remove Croft is on the Get Croft page.

1. Install Croft Plus on the computer and open it (croftplusdesk open).
2. On the phone, open Croft Plus and go to This phone. Choose Link another and scan the code on the computer. The phone asks for its screen lock first.
3. Check the six digits match on both screens and say they do.

To open the computer later, type the six digits that change every 30 seconds, shown on the phone under Show code next to that computer.

To remove a computer: This phone, then Unlink on its row; or on the computer, remove it from Phones.

On the phone, open Croft Plus, This phone, Find my phone, and allow location (including "all the time" so it can answer while the app is closed). Allow it for each computer under Manage for that computer. Then on the computer press Ring it, Where is it or Test connection. The position is taken only when asked and is not stored.

On the computer: a backup is one file, croft<date>-<time>.croftbak, sealed. A backup is made once a week by itself and the newest eight are kept. Recovery key shows sixteen groups of four: print it and keep it safe. Restoring only adds what is missing.

On the phone: Croft Messaging, Settings, Backup. Contacts can export all contacts as one vCard file and import one back (Settings).

In Croft Plus, Contacts, choose a person and compare the digits with theirs, read out or in person. If they match, say so: the contact shows as verified. The computer shows the same numbers under Private contacts in its menu, and "They match" is sent to the phone.

Owners and admins use the Team card on the phone or the Team page on the computer to invite, name and remove people, appoint admins and see invoices. Channel messages are kept for the time the owner chooses; an admin can ask a lost member's phone to forget the team (Wipe phone; also remove the person so their keys stop working). See Croft Team.

Your Plus keys stay on the phone and are never backed up. On the new phone install Croft Plus, enter your plan code with the same number, and your contacts will see a new key and check the safety number with you once. Your messages come across with a normal Croft Messaging backup.

The apps warn you 14 days before. A linked computer keeps reading for three days after the plan ends and then unlinks. Your Pickup stays. Renew in Croft Plus on the phone.
