Can I check which devices are still logged in to my wallet?
No. Phantom doesn't track or display active sessions across devices.
Can I use Outlook email or other providers to log in to Phantom?
Phantom supports login only through Google or Apple. However, you're not limited to Gmail or iCloud addresses — you can use any email address that is associated with a Google account or Apple ID. For example, if your Outlook address is linked to a Google account, you can use it to sign in via Continue with Google.
What happens if I enter the wrong PIN too many times?
After seven attempts, the system deletes your encrypted backup. You can recover only if you still have a logged-in device or previously exported your recovery phrase.
