Security
Safeinity is secure by design, but your device/network security still matters.
Before You Start - Best Practices
  1. Run an offline computer security scan before you create your account.

  2. Never use any kind of plugin or browser extension for safeinity.com

  7. Disable unnecessary services while handling sensitive data (Bluetooth, sharing, remote desktop).
  8. Use trusted networks; never use public Wi-Fi.
  9. Use a VPN.
  10. Is your router secure?
  11. Do not store private keys in plaintext digital files.
  12. Avoid photos/screenshots/Wi-Fi printing of key material.

High-Value Workflow (Very Strong Measures)
  1. Use a dedicated hardened laptop.
  2. Consider using a hardware wallet for crypto. But research them thoroughly. Not all are safe.
  3. Store highly sensitive documents/keys in KeePassXC, then upload the .kdbx to Safeinity.
  4. Use key-sharing/sharding for beneficiary access planning.
  5. Keep physical cold-storage backups for crypto keys.
  6. Use a shielded enclosure if you are a high value target.
