  1. Rocket.Chat Support agent will share an invite link to an encrypted room on open.rocket.chat server. Click on the invite link in order to access the room.
    1. If you already have an user on open.rocket.chat, logon into the server.

    3. Click to view and save your encryption password. IMPORTANT: The encryption password is generated and displayed only once. Please save this password locally as this will be required to access the room. 
  2. Share the credentials with the Support agent within the encrypted room.  
Disclaimer: This room will be used only for credential sharing purposes. All the communication between Rocket.Chat Support and the customer is done inside our support portal (https://desk.rocket.chat/portal/home) or our support inbox (support@rocket.chat)
