Before proceeding, keep in mind that your passcode can only be reset by reinstalling the app, so it’s essential to back up your secret phrase beforehand. After reinstalling, you can import your secret phrase to recover your wallet.


Security Highlight

Activating the App Lock security feature helps prevent unauthorized access to your Trust Wallet. Be sure to back up your recovery phrases before setting up your passcode. If you forget your passcode, you’ll need to reinstall the app and restore your wallet using the recovery phrase. The app locks after 5 incorrect passcode attempts.


Step-by-Step Process

  1. Access Settings
    Navigate to Settings and tap on Security. Next, toggle the switch to enable App Lock.

  2. Set Your Passcode
    Enter your desired six-digit passcode. Remember, backing up your wallet is crucial before setting your passcode, as you’ll need the recovery phrase to restore your wallet if the passcode is forgotten. A prompt will appear for you to create your passcode.

  3. Enable Biometrics
    You can choose to enable either just the passcode or a combination of passcode and Face ID for the Lock Method. If Face ID is already configured on your device, the app will request your consent to use it as part of the security setup.







Important Notes

  • Make sure your Trust Wallet version is up to date with the latest security features: trustwallet.com/download.
  • Never forget your passcode, and always keep a secure backup of your recovery phrase.

By following these steps, you can protect your Trust Wallet with enhanced security and peace of mind.
