![]() Note: You can boost your privacy when registering for Wickr Pro Basic by anonymously signing up for a secure email service that you only use for your Wickr registration. However, if giving Wickr an email address would be acceptable in your particular circumstances, check out the additional features of Wickr Pro Basic, covered at the end of this review. I’m concentrating on Wickr Me in this review. On the positive side, Wickr Pro Basic has several features that Wickr Me does not. While this supports password resets and verification of ownership for Wickr Pro accounts, it also eliminates the anonymity of Wickr Me. Wickr Pro requires you to use an email address as your username. Even if you link a phone number in Wickr Me that data is encrypted and cannot be read by the company. The company has no way to identify the owner of a Wickr Me account because they have no access to any of your personal information. A Wickr Me account belongs to whoever has the correct credentials to log into it. ![]() Wickr Me distinguishes between users based on their anonymous username. Depending on your use case and threat model, you may want to consider using Wickr Pro Basic (the free tier of Pro) instead of Wickr Me. Wickr Pro and Wickr Me both run off the same secure code base, and there is a free version of Wickr Pro available. Code is publicly visible on GitHub, but not open sourceīefore I take you deeper into the guts of Wickr Me, we need to talk about the differences between Wickr Me and Wickr Pro. ![]()
