With the launch of the new VeeFriends Wallet powered by Privy, collecting has never been easier. No extensions, no seed phrases, just sign in with your email and start. Since your wallet can be accessed through your email sign-in (via Privy) on VeeFriends.com, securing your email is more important than ever.

Here's what you need to know, and the steps you should take to keep your digital collectibles safe.

Why Wallet Security Is Important

Your VeeFriends Wallet is directly tied to the email you use to log in. If someone gains access to your email, they can access any tokens or NFTs held in your wallet. Protecting your email with the right security measures helps prevent unwanted access down the line.

How to Secure Your VeeFriends Wallet

Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for Extra Protection

There's no longer a password or 2FA tied to your VeeFriends account itself. Instead, security is managed through:

• One-time passwords (OTPs) sent to your email when you log in.

• The native 2FA already tied to your Gmail or Apple account, if you use those sign-in methods.

The 2FA option you'll see inside your VeeFriends Wallet is specifically for approving Privy transactions, not for logging into your account. We strongly recommend enabling this additional layer of protection with a passkey or an authenticator app such as Google Authenticator or Authy. These apps are more secure than SMS-based 2FA, which can be vulnerable to SIM-swapping attacks.

Keep Your Email Secure

Your email is now your access key, protect it like you would your wallet:

• Ensure 2FA is enabled on your email account.

• Regularly check recent login activity.

• Avoid clicking on suspicious links.

• Verify that emails claiming to be from VeeFriends come from official addresses such as no-reply@veefriends.com or support@veefriends.com.

• Avoid logging in on shared or public computers.

During drops, redemptions, or Burn Island events, stay alert for phishing scams and fake websites. VeeFriends will never ask for your email's password or 2FA code.

Use a Yubikey for Additional Security

Just like you might use hardware devices such as Ledger or Trezor for traditional crypto wallets, you can use a Yubikey to add a hardware confirmation to your 2FA setup. Important: Only buy hardware devices directly from the manufacturer to ensure your device hasn't been tampered with.
