Stay safe outside the vault with Shield (desktop app)
The desktop app warns about passwords you copy in other apps, phishing links, swapped wallet addresses, passwords on sticky notes while you share your screen, and open Wi-Fi.
Steps
Install the Passkey-X desktop app for Windows, macOS or Linux and sign in. Shield is on by default.
Copy a password, API key, card number or recovery phrase from an email or chat: a notice offers Save to vault and Clear clipboard. Only you see what was copied.
Copy a link: if it imitates a brand, hides its real address or uses other phishing tricks, you get a red warning before you open it. Check any link yourself in This computer › Shield.
Start sharing your screen: passwords are hidden, and if a sticky note or a Desktop note contains a password you get an urgent warning to hide it.
Press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+L (⌘⌥⇧L on a Mac) any time to wipe the clipboard, lock the vault and hide Passkey-X at once.
Turn each protection on or off in This computer › Settings. Some may be required by your organization.
Good to know
- Everything is checked on your computer. Nothing you copy, no link, note or network name is uploaded; organizations only see the kind of finding and a count.
- If a copied wallet or bank number is swapped within seconds, don't send any payment and scan your computer for malware.
