🛡️ Phase 1: Authentication & Official Setup
The greatest threat in 2026 isn't the wallet’s code, but "imposter" apps. Security begins with a verified installation source.
- Official Source: Only download from Coinomi.com/en/downloads.
- App Integrity: For mobile, ensure you are on v1.65.x or later. If using the desktop client, verify the digital signature matches Loksias SA.
- Device Security: Coinomi features Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) support on Android. This means hardware-level encryption handles your keys, keeping them isolated from the rest of your phone's operating system. 📱
🗝️ Phase 2: The 24-Word Recovery Master Key
Coinomi uses BIP44 Hierarchical Deterministic (HD) logic. This means one single 24-word phrase generates and recovers every single coin and token you add to the app.
- Generation: When you select "Create a New Wallet," the app generates a unique mnemonic phrase.
- The "Golden Rule": Write these words on a physical medium. In 2026, AI-driven malware can scan your photos and cloud storage for "seed phrase patterns." Never take a screenshot or save it in a notes app. 📝
- BIP39 Passphrase (The 25th Word): For advanced users, Coinomi supports an optional passphrase. This creates a "hidden" layer; even if someone steals your 24 words, they cannot access your funds without this final custom word. 🔐

Coinomi is built for users who prioritize anonymity. It is one of the few wallets that proactively hides your identity from the blockchain.

🛡️ The 2026 "Secure Crypto" Checklist
Self-custody means you are your own bank. Harden your defense with these protocols:
- PIN Brute-Force Protection: Enable the feature that permanently deletes local wallet data if the PIN is entered incorrectly too many times. Your funds are safe—you simply restore them with your 24 words. 💣
- Dedicated Offline Keyboard: When entering your phrase for restoration, use Coinomi’s built-in "blue keyboard." It is designed not to "learn" or transmit your keystrokes like standard "smart" keyboards do.
- Biometric 2FA: Activate FaceID or TouchID for an extra layer of physical security.
- Avoid Public Wi-Fi: Never perform transactions or view balances on open networks. In 2026, "Man-in-the-Middle" attacks are highly sophisticated; use a reputable VPN if you aren't on a private connection.
