SECURITY

The Duress Wallet feature in DeusWallet allows you to create an additional wallet containing a small amount of cryptocurrency that you are willing to hand over in case of a threat. This wallet can be created on the same device, with access controlled by a special PIN code different from your main one

To use the 'Duress' feature in DeusWallet, follow these simple steps:

1. Ensure your DeusWallet is updated to the latest version. This will allow you to use all security features.
2. Create a Duress Wallet: Go to the security settings of the app and select the 'Create Duress Wallet' option.
3. Set a separate PIN code: You will need to assign a special PIN code for this wallet, which you can enter in an emergency situation.
4. Transfer a small amount of cryptocurrency to this wallet. This way, if you find yourself under threat, you can quickly hand over this wallet and minimize your losses.

While a Duress Wallet can be helpful, it’s essential to understand the associated risks:

• Psychological stress: In a critical situation, it is easy to make a mistake and accidentally reveal the real PIN code or raise suspicion.
• Risk of detection: If the attacker suspects that they are being given a Duress Wallet, the situation could escalate.

Nonetheless, using the 'Duress' feature helps protect the majority of your assets. We recommend you review the DeusWallet user guide for more detailed information.

While the likelihood of needing a Duress Wallet in a physical attack is relatively low, this feature represents an essential element of protection. It is important to avoid publicly disclosing information about your digital assets and use other DeusWallet security features to reduce risks.

The 'Duress' feature in DeusWallet provides you with an additional layer of security in extreme situations. However, remember that your life is always more valuable than any digital assets. Use all available means to enhance the security of your funds and avoid situations where you could become a target.
