This guide will walk you through the steps and nuances of the auto-lock feature tailored for the Magic Eden Wallet.
Understanding the auto-lock feature
The auto-lock feature automatically secures your wallet after a predetermined duration of inactivity.
How the auto-lock feature functions
When the auto-lock is activated, your wallet will prompt for password entry after the chosen time has elapsed. This is applicable when you attempt to send funds, engage in an exchange, or access confidential data after the wallet's opening.
Regular functions like incoming transactions and price updates remain unaffected even when the wallet is locked.
Adjusting the auto-lock timer
Open the Magic Eden Wallet, click on the Profile icon, and then select Security.
Choose 'Set Auto-Lock'.
Determine the time you want the wallet to lock after a period of inactivity. Input the desired duration and click 'Save' to confirm the changes.
Manually locking your wallet
If you wish to secure your wallet instantly without waiting for the auto-lock feature, simply click the Security icon from the Profile tab and select Lock Wallet.
Behind-the-scenes mechanics
Upon locking, the wallet's files undergo re-encryption, making it impossible to execute outgoing transactions, view the secret recovery phrase, or access private keys. When unlocked using the correct password, the files are decrypted, granting full access again.
