Create a room as a guest
A private room for anonymous conversation
Use a LOCK.PUB room when participants need a shared conversation without profiles, phone numbers, or the message history of an ordinary social account.
Create a temporary project room
Give a small group one place for an encrypted conversation without adding members to a permanent workspace.
Separate access from identity
Participants choose a display name when they join; access depends on the room link and password, not a public profile.
Anonymous room or ordinary group chat?
LOCK.PUB separates the room from personal messaging profiles and encrypts messages with the shared room password.

Anonymous chat questions
Can people join without a LOCK.PUB account?
Yes. Participants can open the room link, enter its password, choose a display name, and join without registering a LOCK.PUB account.
Can LOCK.PUB read the chat messages?
Chat messages are encrypted in the browser with the room password before storage. The server stores encrypted message data rather than the readable conversation.
How should I share the room password?
For a sensitive conversation, send the room link and password through separate channels and share them only with intended participants.
Is an anonymous room the same as complete anonymity?
No. LOCK.PUB does not require participant profiles, but a room link cannot prevent recipients from sharing what they see or revealing identifying details themselves.
