Privacy is built in from the moment you create your NFID Wallet to every time connection with a third-party app. Here are a few things to know so you can be even more secure.
The only publicly available information about your NFID Wallet are the public keys you use to sign in with (i.e. passkeys) and some harmless passkey metadata.
Your email address is not publicly available.
Recommendations on staying private
As a user of Web3 and a participant in blockchain networks, it's essential to prioritize your privacy and safeguard your personal information. When Anonymous Profiles aren’t enough, use new email addresses to create new NFID Wallets.
Just as it’s recommended to have separate email addresses for your different online activities, we recommend you set up separate NFID Wallets dedicated to separate Web3 activities:
- Use privacy-preserving email providers like Proton Mail (proton.me).
- Create an anonymous email for your totally anonymous identity (activity you want nobody associating to you, and you should never share with anyone that you own this account).
- Create additional anonymous emails for additional anonymous identities.
- Create a personal NFID Wallet with your personal email for your personal identity (activity you don’t mind everyone knowing about).
- Create an employer-specific NFID Wallet with your employer-provided email (activity you don’t mind your coworkers knowing about).
