All the data backups are encrypted using your own strong encryption code and securely shared across congregation members through our servers. All data is stored with the highest level of security, and no one unauthorized can access or read it.

## What is the difference between the Congregation master key and Congregation access code?
81+
82+
Both the Congregation master key and the Congregation access code serve to protect your congregation’s data through end-to-end encryption, but they differ in their access levels and purposes:
83+
84+
- **Access code:** This code is used by *everyone* who wants to join your congregation in the Organized app and when logging in on new devices. It’s the final step in the registration process, confirming that the person has been authorized by the congregation's elders. However, possessing the access code alone doesn't grant full access — administrators still have to manage and adjust user role(s) and permissions after they join. The Congregation access code should be relatively user-friendly, meaning it should be easy to enter multiple times by different age groups in the congregation, featuring a thoughtful mix of words and numbers. It’s important to avoid using obvious or commonly known phrases to maintain security. This balance ensures that while the code is accessible for legitimate users, it remains secure against unauthorized access.
85+
86+
- **Master key:** This code provides a higher level of access, required by those who handle significant congregation data, such as scheduling, reporting and managing the congregation account. The master key is more secure, longer, and complex, and it's known only to a select few trustworthy brothers who are responsible for the congregation’s administrative tasks.
87+
88+
In summary, while the access code allows users to join the congregation and view the basic information about meetings and other congregation activities, the master key safeguards the administrative functions, ensuring that only authorized individuals can perform administrative tasks.

You **must select a person record** that matches this new user to proceed. Why is this important? Binding the new Organized user to an existing person record *(which contains name, qualitications, assignments, contant info, etc)* ensures that when they join your congregation in Organized, they can immediately view their upcoming assignments, submit their field service reports, and have their data correctly linked in congregation reports.

7. Provide your Congregation access code to the new user so they can connect to your congregation without any issues. However, it's crucial to emphasize the importance of keeping this code confidential. Encourage users not to share it with others, even within the congregation. If someone else needs the Congregation access code, they should be directed to ask the elders or the Organized app administrator. While Organized takes many steps to keep your data secure, maintaining the confidentiality of this information is a shared responsibility.

This master key protects your congregation's information. It's required for anyone working with congregation data, scheduling, and managing the congregation account. Please avoid using easily guessed or common numbers and phrases, such as _1914_, _1qaz2wsx_, _144000_, _bestlifeever_ or _Organized_. The code can consist of readable words or random characters, depending on the technical proficiency and preferences of your congregation’s elders and ministerial servants who will be using the app. Consider their readiness and 'comfort level' when choosing the format.
