Device security checklist

Your wallet's security is anchored in your phone's secure hardware, but good device habits still matter. Work through this checklist — most items take less than a minute.

• Set a screen lock — a PIN of 6+ digits, or fingerprint/face unlock. The wallet relies on your device lock as its first barrier.
• Keep your operating system updated. Install system updates when offered; they carry security fixes the wallet depends on.
• Install the wallet only from source you trust. The reference app is open source; there are no official app-store listings, so treat any store listing claiming to be this wallet as suspect.
• Turn on your platform's find-my-device feature so you can remotely lock or wipe a lost phone.

• Use biometric unlock (fingerprint or face) where your device supports it — it is both more convenient and harder to shoulder-surf than a PIN.
• Avoid rooted or jailbroken devices. Device integrity attestation will fail on tampered devices, and Trusted-level verification will be unavailable.
• Review which apps have accessibility or screen-reading permissions — malicious apps abuse these to watch other apps.
• Keep a record of your recovery information somewhere safe and offline, in case your device is lost.

The wallet encrypts identity material on-device before anything is transmitted, uses your phone's hardware-backed keystore where available, and proves its own integrity to the network through Play Integrity (Android) or App Attest (iOS). A stolen phone with a locked screen exposes encrypted data only.
