Security ​

Sign-in and security settings exist only on a guardian's personal phone: Settings → Advanced → Sign-in and Settings → Advanced → Security.

Sign-in ​

This lists the ways you can sign in: the code by email, which is always there, and a password (see Account and family).

Settings → Sign-inSettings → Sign-in
  • Password: Set password or Change password sets one up.

Two-factor sign-in ​

On top of the password, WuselWall asks for a 6-digit code from an authenticator app at every sign-in (your password manager's app, or one from Google, Microsoft or Aegis, for example).

  1. Next to Two-factor sign-in, tap Turn on.
  2. Scan the QR code with the authenticator app.
  3. Enter the 6-digit code the app shows.

From then on every new sign-in asks for the code; without it a phone sees none of the household's data. Turn off takes it back.

Guardian PIN ​

The 6-digit PIN you enter on shared devices (Who are you?). Here you set a new PIN — even if the old one is locked after too many wrong tries. Only your own, signed-in phone may do this.

Passkey ​

With a passkey you sign in by fingerprint or face instead of a password. The feature is new and not yet available on every device.

Good to know ​

  • Password: at least 10 characters; a whole sentence is better.
  • Lost phone: block it at once from another device (see Members and devices).
  • Your data lives on your family's server, not with us and not with a cloud provider.
