Your Phantom Extension provides a quick and dependable solution for individuals looking for an even higher level of protection where your wallet is always locked. To set up your auto-lock timer for instant protection, follow these steps:
Open your Phantom wallet and navigate to the settings menu.
Select “Security & Privacy.”
Choose the “Auto-Lock Timer” option.
Set the timer to “Immediately.”
If you enable this setting, every time you close the app, your wallet will automatically lock. Reopening the app will require you to authenticate with your password, PIN, or FaceID in order to gain access again, giving your digital assets the highest level of security.
Make sure you download Phantom Extension from reputable app stores or from the developers’ own websites, as there are malicious individuals out there who can set up copies of these files and steal your valuables.
Choose your browser and go to the Phantom Wallet download page. Phantom supports popular browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Brave.
Then, install Phantom Wallet by following the instructions in the relevant extension store for your browser. Phantom will launch in a new tab in your browser following installation.
You should now select the “Create New Wallet” button. In order to access the wallet app on this browser and device, you will be prompted to set a strong password.
If necessary, you can keep this password in a password manager, however, as with other passwords, it’s preferable to choose a strong, easy-to-remember password and to update it on a regular basis.
After entering your password, select “Continue.”
You will then receive your “Secret Recovery Phrase” from Phantom Wallet. This is sometimes referred to as a seed word, and it functions similarly to your car keys in that anyone with it may load money into Phantom or another wallet and access — and spend — your money!
