How to connect
No phone number, no search
When you first open poqop, it creates a random ID on your phone. That’s your account. There’s no user search, no contact sync and no profile, so no one can find you unless you give them a code.
Option 1: Scan a QR code in person (recommended)
- Both of you open poqop and tap + on the keypad screen.
- One person taps Show QR code.
- The other taps Scan QR code and points the camera at it.
The QR code works once and expires after 10 minutes. Because you scanned it in person, the app checks that it connected to the right phone. There’s no safety code to compare.
Option 2: Use an invite code
- One person taps +, then Create code.
- Send the 10-character code to the other person in a way you trust. It works once and expires after 10 minutes.
- The other person taps +, then Enter code, and types it in.
- Both phones show a safety code. Compare them on a call or in person. If they match, you’re connected to the right person. If they don’t, end the connection.
After 5 wrong codes, entering codes is paused for an hour.
Then set your passcode
Each of you sets a passcode for the room, on your own phone only. It’s 4 to 8 digits and doesn’t have to match the other person’s. Each room on your phone needs a different passcode. You’re connected once both of you have set one.
From then on, open poqop, type the passcode and tap Enter to open the room. A passcode you haven’t set opens an empty room that looks just like a real one, and there’s no lockout after wrong guesses.
We can’t recover a forgotten passcode, because we never see it. You can change it inside the room while you still know it.
