Baseline protection for phones and computers
A useful way to approach this topic is to separate on-chain facts from wallet interface states and third-party behavior. In the context of “Baseline protection for phones and computers,” pay particular attention to device security, system updates, and screen lock. Start by identifying the network or request type, then compare what the wallet shows with what you actually intend to do. For transactions, verify the asset, amount, gas implications, destination and the transaction hash that is produced. This does not add ceremony for its own sake; it moves the most important checks to the point before an irreversible action.
Within Device Security, interface messages are only one source of information. Network congestion, RPC behavior, smart-contract state and token-contract differences can all affect what you see. Keep something independently verifiable in view, such as the correct network name, destination address, contract address or transaction hash, and do not sign or approve a request that you cannot explain in plain language. If information conflicts, verify the network, address, contract and transaction hash before deciding what to do next.
Practical checks
- Confirm that baseline protection for phones and computers matches the intended network and action
- Keep a verifiable reference and review the outcome after completion
System updates and screen locks
When a request is unfamiliar, understanding it before proceeding is more important than completing it quickly. In the context of “System updates and screen locks,” pay particular attention to system updates, screen lock, and 公共Wi-Fi. Start by identifying the network or request type, then compare what the wallet shows with what you actually intend to do. For transactions, verify the asset, amount, gas implications, destination and the transaction hash that is produced. This does not add ceremony for its own sake; it moves the most important checks to the point before an irreversible action.

Keep something independently verifiable in view, such as the correct network name, destination address, contract address or transaction hash, and do not sign or approve a request that you cannot explain in plain language. Afterward, use a transaction hash, explorer or wallet history to verify the final state instead of relying only on a success message.
Practical checks
- Confirm that system updates and screen locks matches the intended network and action
- Keep a verifiable reference and review the outcome after completion
Boundaries for public Wi-Fi use
A wallet is an interface to a network; the final state should still be verified against the network when the action matters. In the context of “Boundaries for public Wi-Fi use,” pay particular attention to screen lock, 公共Wi-Fi, and public computer. Start by identifying the network or request type, then compare what the wallet shows with what you actually intend to do. For transactions, verify the asset, amount, gas implications, destination and the transaction hash that is produced. This does not add ceremony for its own sake; it moves the most important checks to the point before an irreversible action.

Keep something independently verifiable in view, such as the correct network name, destination address, contract address or transaction hash, and do not sign or approve a request that you cannot explain in plain language. For a third-party DApp or smart contract, the wallet can display a request but cannot guarantee the contract logic or the economic result.
Practical checks
- Confirm that boundaries for public wi-fi use matches the intended network and action
- Keep a verifiable reference and review the outcome after completion
Why public computers are higher risk
Many mistakes that look technical are actually caused by a mismatch between the address, network, asset or permission scope. In the context of “Why public computers are higher risk,” pay particular attention to 公共Wi-Fi, public computer, and remote control. Start by identifying the network or request type, then compare what the wallet shows with what you actually intend to do. For transactions, verify the asset, amount, gas implications, destination and the transaction hash that is produced. This does not add ceremony for its own sake; it moves the most important checks to the point before an irreversible action.

Remote-control and clipboard risks
When a request is unfamiliar, understanding it before proceeding is more important than completing it quickly. In the context of “Remote-control and clipboard risks,” pay particular attention to public computer, remote control, and device security. Start by identifying the network or request type, then compare what the wallet shows with what you actually intend to do. For transactions, verify the asset, amount, gas implications, destination and the transaction hash that is produced. This does not add ceremony for its own sake; it moves the most important checks to the point before an irreversible action.

Ongoing verification matters more than one-time confidence
When using features related to Device Security, keep seed phrases and private keys under your own control. imtoken personnel should never ask for those secrets or verification codes. Verify the address, network and amount before a transfer, and review the requesting party and permission scope before signing or approving. On-chain transactions are generally not reversible by a wallet alone, and third-party DApps or contracts can introduce separate risks.
