Who the SecuX Shield BIO suits and what it works with
SecuX describes the Shield BIO as a portable cold wallet with biometric security. It connects over Bluetooth to SecuX’s mobile app on iOS 12 or later and Android 6.0 or later. For decentralised apps it supports WalletConnect 2.0 in the mobile app and QR-based MetaMask integration. A recovery phrase that follows the BIP-32, BIP-39 and BIP-44 standards can be restored onto the card.
How do you unlock the SecuX Shield BIO?
With a registered fingerprint or with your PIN. SecuX’s guide says you can register up to two fingerprints, and the PIN is a number of 4 to 8 digits.
Does the SecuX Shield BIO need a fingerprint for every transaction?
By default it does. Two-factor authentication is enabled by default and requires a registered fingerprint to authorise a transaction. If you turn it off, you still press the fingerprint pad to confirm, but without biometric verification.
How is the SecuX Shield BIO charged?
The card sits in the supplied charging dock with its metal contacts on the dock’s charging pad, and a red light shows that it is charging. SecuX advises charging it for at least 2 hours before setup. The battery is a built-in 14 mAh rechargeable lithium-ion cell.
What happens if the card is lost or damaged?
SecuX’s guide says that after theft, loss or damage to the device you can recover your digital assets with your recovery seed phrase. During setup you choose the number of words in the phrase and write them on a recovery sheet from the box. Keep the words offline and never photograph them. SecuX warns that ignoring its safety instructions could result in theft or unrecoverable loss of funds.
Which coins and tokens does it support?
SecuX lists 10,000+ NFTs, coins and tokens for the Shield BIO, and its comparison page gives 10,000+ coins and tokens on 300+ chains, with NFT support on Ethereum. Check SecuX’s supported assets list for a specific coin before you rely on it.
