Managing Trusted Devices

What Are Trusted Devices?

Trusted devices are phones, tablets, and computers that you've authorized to access your SafeVault account. When you sign in on a new device, SafeVault asks you to verify it before granting access.

Viewing Your Trusted Devices

1. Open SafeVault and go to Settings → Security → Trusted Devices
2. You'll see a list of all devices currently authorized on your account

Each entry shows:

• Device name (e.g., "MacBook Pro", "iPhone 15")
• Operating system
• Last active date
• Location (approximate, based on IP)

Adding a New Device

When you sign in on a new device:

1. Enter your email and master password
2. SafeVault sends a verification code to your registered email
3. Enter the code on the new device
4. The device is now trusted and added to your list

If you have two-factor authentication enabled, you'll also need to provide your 2FA code.

Removing a Device

If you've lost a device, sold it, or simply no longer use it:

1. Go to Settings → Security → Trusted Devices
2. Find the device you want to remove
3. Click Remove and confirm

The removed device will be immediately signed out and will need re-verification to access your account again.

Security Best Practices

• Review your devices regularly — remove any you don't recognize
• Remove devices before selling or giving them away
• Enable two-factor authentication for an extra layer of security on new device sign-ins
• Check last active dates — a device you haven't used in months may not need to stay trusted

What If I See a Device I Don't Recognize?

If you see an unfamiliar device in your trusted list:

1. Remove it immediately
2. Change your master password — see Changing your master password
3. Enable two-factor authentication if you haven't already — see Enabling two-factor authentication
4. Contact support if you believe your account has been compromised
