# Security notice

Mybucks.online is a **digital cash envelope**, not a vault. The safety of each envelope is directly tied to the **complexity of your credentials**.

* **Do not use your email or bank password.**\
  Always use a unique passphrase and PIN that is not linked to your other sensitive accounts.
* **Avoid simple passphrase and PIN. The longer the better**.\
  Do not use easy patterns like "123456." Use a complex mix of letters, digits, and symbols to stay safe.
* **Recommend using the auto-fill feature to generate a random Passphrase and PIN.**\
  This provides machine-generated credentials input that meets or exceeds the security strength of a standard 12-word seed phrase.
* **Do not store life savings or large amounts.**\
  This product is a digital cash envelope for micro-transactions and gifting. It is not intended for long-term storage or high-value assets.
* **Select the correct wallet version.**\
  If your wallet was created before March 9, 2026, check the "This wallet was created before March 2026." box. If you are a new user, ignore this checkbox to use the updated default security.
* **Do not use your private credentials for wallets that will be sent as a link.**\
  Anyone with the gifting-link can extract full passphrase and PIN. Always use a temporary credentials for wallets intended as gifts or transfers.
* **Be careful sharing URLs in public chats.**\
  Anyone with the gifting-link can access the wallet instantly. Do not post your wallet URL in public social media comments or open groups unless you intend for anyone to claim it.
* **Do not use the same credentials repeatedly.**\
  Avoid using the same passphrase and PIN for different wallets or purposes. Unique credentials ensure one session does not affect others.
* **Check the domain name carefully.**\
  Phising sites often use lookalike domains to steal your keys. Always ensure you are on **app.mybucks.online** before entering any information. Bookmark the official link to avoid typing errors.
* **Only use trusted devices and connections.**\
  Avoid opening your wallet on public computers or unsecure Wi-Fi. Your security depends on the safety of your browser and device.
* **Back up your credentials.**\
  There is no reset or recovery process for your credentials. Nobody stores them. Once lost, you will lose access to your funds permanently.
