Tracking encryption changes in Zoom Mail
Zoom Mail Service users can choose to be notified when a recipient’s encryption key has changed, which can help prompt users to reach out to the recipient through another method, confirming the change is to be expected and that there is no security risk with this change.
Additionally, users assigning delegated access will automatically have the encryption key change notification enabled for each delegated user.

Prerequisites for tracking encryption changes in Zoom Mail
How to track encryption changes in the Zoom Mail client
Track a contact's encryption changes
- Sign in to the Zoom desktop client.
- Click the Mail tab .
- In the top-left corner, click the compose email icon , or click to open an email you want to reply to or forward.
Drafting a new email will open a new email window in the bottom-right corner, while replying to or forwarding an email will open the compose box below the received email. - Add recipients as needed to your email draft.
- (Optional) Click the Cc and/or Bcc options to add additional recipients in those fields.
- Right-click a recipient, then click View Details.
A pop-up window will appear, displaying the contact's information. - In the window, click the Track fingerprint toggle to enable or disable it.
When enabled, you can track the contact’s fingerprint on a device basis.
Additionally, when the Track fingerprint toggle is activated, information on the last time the fingerprint was changed is invisible in the contact's pop-up window.
When you track a recipient's fingerprint and you attempt to send an email to that person (whose fingerprint ID has changed), you will be alerted with a modal and given the option to cancel or acknowledge and confirm their new fingerprint ID before sending the message.
Note: When composing a message, you will need to confirm the acknowledgment of a user's new fingerprint ID before sending the message.
