Is Aurora Pass secure to use?

Aurora Pass is a non-custodial crypto wallet which means that the user will be given a 12 word recovery seed phrase that grants them access to their assets.

Users won’t have to save that seed phrase on signup as it is securely saved on the device, but can choose to export it at any time. This provides a better onboarding while providing them with the ownership of their assets in a non-custodial way. 

Using the wallet requires biometric authentication (faceID…). The seed phrase is stored using expo-secure-store: on Android, values are stored in SharedPreferences, encrypted with Android’s Keystore system, and on iOS, values are stored using the keychain services.

The seed phrase is the only way to recover access to the wallet in case of loss or when installing the wallet on a new device.
