Important Notes:&#x20;

* Your passcode will reset after logging out or closing the browser.
* Each time you log in on a new browser session, you’ll need to set a new passcode. You can choose to use the same one as before or create a different one—it’s entirely up to you!
* If you haven’t logged out or closed the browser, you can continue using the same passcode without needing to reset it.

### Remember about Security!

Passcodes are crucial for protecting individual wallets, but the most important security measure is safeguarding your social accounts (such as Gmail, X, or any linked email and phone number). These accounts are often the gateway to recovering access to your wallets.

Here are key steps to enhance security:

* Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) – Use authenticator apps (like Google Authenticator, Authy) instead of SMS for better security.
* Use Strong, Unique Passwords – Avoid reusing passwords across platforms and use password managers (Bitwarden, 1Password).
* Secure Your Email – Your email is the key to most of your accounts. Set up recovery methods carefully.
* Beware of Phishing Attacks – Never click on suspicious links or respond to unknown messages requesting sensitive info.
* Monitor for Breaches – Use tools like *Have I Been Pwned* to check if your email or password has been leaked.
* Disable Unnecessary Recovery Options – If possible, disable SMS or secondary email recovery to minimize risks.
* Keep Devices Secure – Always update your phone, browser, and security settings to prevent exploits.

### **About Seed Phrase** <a href="#option-1-creating-a-wallet-with-email" id="option-1-creating-a-wallet-with-email"></a>

We know many of you are eagerly waiting for the seed phrase feature, and we’re excited to let you know that it will be available in an upcoming update!&#x20;

Currently, since wallets are created using social connect (Google/X), there is no seed phrase involved. However, in the next release, seed phrases will be introduced for users who import their wallet from another external wallet. Stay tuned for more updates!
