Privacy best practices
At Sahal, your privacy and security come first. Using the app with the right settings keeps your wallet safe and your activity private. Follow these practices based only on features available in Sahal today.
During onboarding
Section titled “During onboarding”- Choose a strong passcode and enable biometrics.
- Your passcode is the first lock on your wallet, so make it long and unique.
- Do not reuse a passcode from other apps.
- Turn on fingerprint or face unlock if your device supports it. Biometrics add a quick second check without sharing your data with Sahal.
Back up your recovery phrase, securely
Section titled “Back up your recovery phrase, securely”- Your recovery phrase controls your wallet.
- Write it down on paper or store it in another offline medium that only you can access.
- Keep it in the correct order, and never save it in screenshots, notes apps, or cloud drives.
- Do not share it with anyone.
- If you lose the phrase, Sahal cannot recover it for you.
Use Sahal backup for your data
Section titled “Use Sahal backup for your data”- Sahal provides a backup code that lets you import your app data and contacts to another device.
- Create the backup code, store it offline, and keep it separate from your recovery phrase.
- When you change phones, use this code to restore your data inside Sahal.
Configure your security settings
Section titled “Configure your security settings”- Open the app security section and enable “passcode required for transactions.”
- This adds a confirmation step before any send or sign.
- Keep biometrics enabled for unlock where available.
- Review your settings after updates to make sure everything stays as you prefer.
Keep your passcode fresh
Section titled “Keep your passcode fresh”- Change your passcode regularly.
- Pick a new one that is not linked to birthdays, simple sequences, or reused patterns.
- If you think someone may have seen your passcode, change it immediately.
