Simplified Permission System

Keythings Wallet uses a streamlined two-tier permission system:

  2. Select "Keythings Wallet" from the options
  3. Review the connection request dialog
  4. Approve to grant the requested permissions

Connection Approval Dialog

The wallet will show you exactly what permissions the dApp is requesting:

  • Full Access: "Allow localhost:3000 to send transactions and view your wallet data"
  • Read-Only: "Allow localhost:3000 to view your wallet data"

Manual Connection

Connect to dApps manually:

  1. Open the wallet extension
  2. Click "Connected Sites"
  3. Click "Connect to dApp"
  4. Enter the dApp's URL

Security Best Practices

Keep your wallet secure:

Seed Phrase Security

Password Security

  • Enable biometric authentication if available
  • Set up auto-lock after inactivity (5 minutes recommended)
  • Never reuse passwords across services

Browser Security

  • Keep your browser updated
  • Use HTTPS-only mode when available
  • Be cautious of browser extensions from unknown sources
  • Regularly review and revoke unused dApp connections
