Since the crypto store currently only supports indexeddb or in-memory storage, it is difficult to use correctly in environments which do not support indexeddb such as nodejs, requiring workarounds such as logging in as a new device on each startup (see README), or maybe https://www.npmjs.com/package/indexeddb? (untested!)

It would be good to provide an alternative storage backend such as sqlite (see matrix-org/matrix-rust-sdk-crypto-wasm#168).

See also #4570 which considers the regular (non-crypto) store, IStore.
