    That page seemed outdated, but: From further down that page:

    The recommended strategy is to share the keys automatically only to verified devices of the same user

    This is the same situation where the key backup is accessible - which is not described on that page, but it’s a key store of all the megolm keys. This is what is now generally used instead of that as it doesn’t require devices to be online and allows recovering keys if all devices are lost.
