Only that it has something to do with the NSA.

What's OTR and why do you want my fingerprints?

Gullible n00b, loves forwarding chain mail and always leaves her iPhone
unlocked with a ton of logged in browser sessions.

iOS

That's a tough one to answer without knowing more about her. How much does
your mom know about security & encryption in general? Has she tried OTR
before but just didn't want to mess with verifying fingerprints? What is
her threat model?

Also if there are some specific devices she's using we may make better
recommendations.

Can anyone suggest a super easy im app that works on smartphone and laptops
that provides relatively secure IM/chat that even my mom could sign up and
use without a ton of tech support/training.
