Local Key Management

When this matters

With self-managed credentials, protecting the key lifecycle is central. Actual protections depend on the wallet build and hardware you use.

Biometrics and app locks can improve local access control, but do not replace secure recovery backups or prevent phishing.

Limits and cautions

Use separate routines for recovery, lost devices and suspicious transactions. No single security indicator can replace deliberate review.

• Understand local-lock limits
• Keep a recovery backup
• Cancel suspicious signatures
