These are security recommendations.

Database Password

Set a database password. It encrypts the database on your device and prevents loss of funds if your device or wallet file is stolen.

See Database

Pin Lock

Set a PIN or Fingerprint biometrics on the device (if supported). Zkool will ask to authenticate whenever it opens and resumes.

Pin Lock
Pin Lock

The PIN is set in the device Operating System. Zkool does not have a PIN code. On Windows, a password is not an acceptable authentication method. You must use a PIN, face lock, fingerprint or hardware token.

Account File Password

Make a backup of your accounts, they include the synchronization data. Also make a backup of the seed phrase. They are portable and can be used to restore the account in Zkool or a different wallet application (provided they support the features used by the seed phrase[1]).

See Account File
