Security dashboard
Intended reader: anyone doing a periodic check of their own setup. Goal: knowing whether your wallet’s posture matches what you intended. Prerequisites: an unlocked wallet. Safety: the dashboard reports. It does not defend. Acting on what it says is the part that matters.
Where it is
Section titled “Where it is”Settings, then Security. The screen has no protocol gate, so it is present regardless of what your build authorizes.
What it tracks
Section titled “What it tracks”- Recovery status. Whether you have confirmed a backup of your recovery phrase.
- Login history. When the wallet was unlocked.
- Session log. What happened during recent sessions.
- Phishing URL checking. A place to check a URL against the wallet’s phishing policy before you visit it.
- Connection risk. Local scoring of your connected sites, with a one-step way to revoke risky ones.
Everything here is computed on your device. None of it is a report sent anywhere.
A monthly ten-minute check
Section titled “A monthly ten-minute check”- Open the dashboard and read the recovery status. If it does not say your phrase is backed up, go to Back up your recovery phrase.
- Read the login history. Anything you cannot account for is worth investigating.
- Open Connected sites and remove anything you no longer use.
- Check your auto-lock timer is short enough for how you actually work. See Locking and passwords.
- Confirm your paper backup is still where you think it is, and still legible.
What a dashboard cannot see
Section titled “What a dashboard cannot see”- Whether your recovery phrase has been copied. A phrase read from paper leaves no trace anywhere.
- Whether a signature you gave was a good idea. It can tell you what you signed, not what it meant.
- Whether an outstanding partial signature can still be completed by someone. See What a signature authorizes.
- Anything happening in another wallet using the same phrase.
A clean dashboard is reassuring and it is not proof. Treat it as one input.
Optional controls worth turning on
Section titled “Optional controls worth turning on”Universe Wallet includes optional per-transaction and daily spending caps, and an address whitelist. They are off by default, because most people do not want them and a wallet that demands configuration before it is safe is a badly designed wallet. If your holdings are significant, they are worth the five minutes.
