A duress PIN is an alternate PIN that can be enabled to automatically delete the encrypted wallet information from Jade if entered. This feature may be used in the event of a physical threat, as you can provide this PIN to an attacker and your wallet will no longer be accessible via PIN. This can also be used as a decoy by leaving a copy of your duress PIN with Jade, where it may be entered by a potential thief. After using the duress PIN, it will appear that Jade simply experienced a failure by displaying the message "Internal Error".
Warning: If you create a wallet-erase PIN and subsequently enter it upon login, there is no way to regain access to your funds except by restoring your recovery phrase. Make sure you have a backup before proceeding.
Enable Duress PIN
1.
During an active Jade session, select Options, Authentication, Duress PIN.
2.
Enter a PIN that is different from your normal PIN and confirm your selection. If this PIN is ever entered on Jade, your wallet information will be deleted from Jade and you will need to restore with your recovery phase. You may use this screen to view, change, or disable your current duress PIN.
