Security & Recovery

OmniSocial is built with privacy, protection, and user control at the core. Whether you’re a creator, contributor, or community leader, your digital identity is your asset.

🔐 Enabling 2FA with WebAuthn (Step-by-Step)

OmniSocial supports WebAuthn, a secure standard used by devices like YubiKeys, Face ID, or fingerprint scanners. You can enable 2FA (two-factor authentication) to protect:

• Login sessions

• High-value actions (sending OMNI, switching personas, voting on DAO proposals)

✅ Setup 2FA in 4 Easy Steps

1. Go to Settings > Security

2. Click Enable 2FA

3. Choose a WebAuthn-compatible device (browser will prompt you):

   • Security key (e.g., YubiKey)

   • Fingerprint reader

   • Face or Touch ID

4. Confirm device registration

🔁 You’ll now be prompted for this device when taking sensitive actions or logging in from a new device.

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Adding Guardian Contacts (Optional Recovery)

You can nominate trusted guardians—friends, alternate wallets, or even a DAO—to help you recover access if you lose your device or keys.

🔧 How to Add a Guardian

1. Navigate to Settings > Recovery

2. Click Add Guardian

3. Enter:

   • Their .omni handle

   • Or wallet address

4. Set approval threshold (e.g., “2 of 3 guardians must confirm”)

5. Confirm setup in your wallet

Your guardians will not have access to your funds or content—they can only approve a recovery request when triggered.

🔁 How to Recover Your Account (If Lost)

If you lose your device or access:

1. On the login screen, click “Recover account”

2. Select your recovery method:

   • Use guardians (they’ll receive a secure approval prompt)

   • Use social recovery phrase (if enabled during setup)

   • Biometric recovery (if registered with WebAuthn and another device is still trusted)

3. Follow prompts to restore access and rebind your wallet to your PersonaNFT and .omni name

🧠 Pro tip: Your PersonaNFT and reputation stay intact—OmniSocial separates identity and device so you can restore without starting over.
