To help keep your crypto assets secure, Phantom includes an auto-lock feature. When enabled, this feature automatically locks your wallet after a period of inactivity. It adds a layer of protection if you forget to manually lock the app or if someone gains temporary access to your device.
Lock the Phantom app instantly or after a set time
- Open Phantom and on the Home tab, select the three-dot menu.
- Select Wallet Settings.
- Go to Security & Privacy.
- Choose your auto-lock settings:
- On the extension: select Auto-Lock Timer.
- On the mobile app: select Require authentication.
- Set the timer from Immediately up to 8 hours.
After the timer expires, Phantom will prompt you to authenticate:
- On the mobile app, use your device’s authentication method (such as Face ID or fingerprint).
- On the extension, enter your password.
