# MSC3122: Deprecate starting key verifications without requesting first
22

3-
Currently, the spec allows a device to begin a verification via to-device
4-
messages by sending an `m.key.verification.start` event without first sending
5-
or receiving an `m.key.verification.request` message. However, doing so does
6-
not provide a good user experience, and allowing this adds unnecessary
7-
complexity to implementations.
3+
Currently, the [Key verification
4+
framework](https://spec.matrix.org/unstable/client-server-api/#key-verification-framework)
5+
allows a device to begin a verification via to-device messages by sending an
6+
`m.key.verification.start` event without first sending or receiving an
7+
`m.key.verification.request` message. (The last sentence of the 5th paragraph
8+
of the Key verification framework in the unstable spec, as of the time of
9+
writing.) However, doing so does not provide a good user experience, and
10+
allowing this adds unnecessary complexity to implementations.

We propose to deprecate allowing this behaviour.
