Welcome to JoyID Wallet!
In this tutorial, we will explore how to effectively protect your Passkey and enhance the overall security of your JoyID Wallet.
Understanding Passkey:
A Passkey is a secure authentication method that uses cryptographic keys stored on your device to provide a unique and highly secure way to access your accounts. Unlike traditional passwords, which can be easily stolen or hacked, Passkeys offer a much higher level of security because they are stored locally and are never shared.
Importance for JoyID Users:
JoyID is the first non-custodial Bitcoin wallet that integrates Passkey technology, allowing users to access their wallet in just 10 seconds. This revolutionary approach ensures maximum security and convenience. However, since Passkeys are a relatively new technology, they might be unfamiliar and can be easily lost if not handled properly. Protecting your Passkey is crucial for safeguarding your assets.
Losing, damaging, or experiencing technical failures with your device:
This includes not only loss or physical damage to the device but also potential technical issues that could affect your access to the Passkey.
Deleting or resetting the PIN code:
Many devices use the PIN code to encrypt and decrypt sensitive data stored on the device, including the Passkey. Deleting the PIN code may render the device unable to decrypt this data, making the Passkey inaccessible.
Selecting advanced options within the browser to clear Passkey:
Browsers often integrate with the operating system’s encryption and security modules and may encrypt and store the Passkey locally. Choosing advanced options to clear data in the browser could delete the locally stored Passkey data, leading to its loss.
Uninstalling the browser used to create the wallet:
If you haven’t synced your Passkey, this action will delete the encrypted Passkey data stored locally, leading to the loss of the Passkey.
Important Reminder:
Before you are familiar with Passkey or have backed up your JoyID account, avoid performing the actions listed above.
