🍄🍄🍄PI NETWORK NEWS: Pi Network: Causes of Losing or Exposing the Pi Network Wallet's Passphrase - Risk Prevention
Hello everyone. In this article, users share the potential causes that could lead to losing or exposing the passphrase of a Pi Network wallet and how to prevent these risks.
✅Causes of Losing the Passphrase:
1. Failure to Back Up the Passphrase: Users might forget to back up the passphrase on paper or lose the backup.
2. Deleting a Few Characters of the Passphrase: When saving the passphrase in a note-taking app, users might accidentally delete or alter a few characters, making it difficult to re-enter the passphrase.
3. Phone Damage: If the phone gets damaged and there is no data backup, the passphrase may be lost.
4. Confusion Among Different Account Passphrases: This can happen when a family has multiple Pi accounts, and the passphrases get mixed up when written down.
✅Causes of Exposing the Passphrase:
1. Having Someone Else Create the Wallet: New Pi Network users often ask others for help in creating a wallet, which could lead to the passphrase being exposed.
2. Exposure While Transacting in Public Places: Entering the passphrase in public places could be recorded by surveillance cameras or exposed when printing related information.
3. Exposure Through Video Calls: While sharing the wallet via a video call, users might accidentally reveal the passphrase to someone with malicious intent.
4. Granting Access to Applications: Some phone applications can access the microphone, photos, videos, or other data, increasing the risk of exposing the passphrase if not careful.
5. Keyboard Application Predictive Text: The keyboard application might learn and predict the next words, which increases the risk of exposing the passphrase.
✅Risk Prevention Methods:
🔸Always back up the passphrase on paper and store it in a safe place.
🔸Use biometric authentication to enhance security.
🔸Be cautious when entering the passphrase in public, especially in front of cameras.
🔸Limit unnecessary access permissions to applications.
🔸Clear browser activity history and text input data from the keyboard after use.
Users are also encouraged to share additional methods for effectively protecting the passphrase so that everyone can avoid risks as much as possible. (Impermanent Pi)🍄🍄🍄
