When setting up your Zerion Wallet, you'll need to create a PIN code for the mobile app and a password for the web extension. These security measures are essential to protect your wallet and prevent unauthorized access. Your PIN code and password encrypt your recovery phrase, ensuring that even if someone gains access to your device, they cannot make transactions without the correct credentials. In this article, we'll provide tips for creating a strong and secure password.
ℹ️ Important
Both the PIN code and password are stored locally on your device. Zerion cannot reset or recover these credentials, so it’s crucial to remember them.
Mobile: PIN code
On the mobile app, you’ll be prompted to create a 6-digit PIN code. Here are some tips for choosing a secure PIN:
Avoid Simple PINs: Don’t use easily guessable combinations like
000000or123456.Choose Unpredictably: Select a PIN that even those close to you wouldn’t guess.
Remember It: Since the PIN cannot be recovered, ensure you choose a combination that you can remember but is difficult for others to guess.
Extension: Password
When you install the Zerion Wallet extension, it's vital to create a strong yet memorable password. This password is crucial for safeguarding your wallet and should meet the following criteria:
Minimum Length: At least 6 characters.
Complexity: Use a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.
