They have introduced a new feature called Biometric Authentication. It helps protect sensitive actions like exporting your recovery phrase or making large transfers.
This means that you can feel more secure knowing that only you can access these important actions on your device.
What is Biometric Authentication?
Biometric Authentication uses your unique physical traits—like your fingerprint or face—to unlock your mobile wallet. Instead of just entering a password, you can now use your fingerprint or face scan. It makes sure that no one can get into your wallet without your permission.
Whenever you try to do something sensitive on Jupiter Mobile, like exporting your recovery phrase (which is super important for keeping your wallet safe) or making a big transfer, the app will ask you to confirm your identity.
Your seed phrase, protected by your identity.

Jupiter Mobile has set the default time for Biometric Authentication to 5 minutes. This means that once you log in, you can carry on with your transactions without needing to scan your fingerprint or face again for the next 5 minutes.
However, if you want to tighten security even more, you can choose the “Instant” option. With this setting, you’ll need to authenticate every single time you want to do something in your wallet.
