Fingerprint + Passphrase Security

Fingerprint and Passphrase Security on Roru One

Roru One uses a two-factor authentication system combining fingerprint biometrics and passphrase protection to provide maximum security for device access and transaction authorization.

Overview

Two-Factor Authentication

Fingerprint (Something You Are):

  • Biometric authentication

  • Fast and convenient

  • Unique to you

  • Cannot be lost

Passphrase (Something You Know):

  • Knowledge-based authentication

  • Additional security layer

  • Cannot be stolen physically

  • Complete protection

Combined Security

Both Required:

  • Fingerprint for quick access

  • Passphrase for additional security

  • Two-factor protection

  • Maximum security

Fingerprint Setup

  • Re-register if needed

  • Contact support

If Passphrase Forgotten

Recovery:

  • Use recovery phrase (if available)

  • Device reset (keys lost)

  • Contact support

  • Recovery process

Warning:

  • Device reset erases keys

  • Recovery phrase needed

  • Keys cannot be recovered

  • Permanent loss if no backup

Best Practices

Security Practices

  1. Strong Passphrase: Use strong, unique passphrase

  2. Multiple Fingers: Register multiple fingers

  3. Secure Storage: Store passphrase securely

  4. Regular Updates: Keep device updated

  5. Monitor Access: Monitor device access

Usage Practices

  1. Verify Before Authorizing: Always verify transaction details

  2. Use Passphrase for Large: Use passphrase for large transactions

  3. Keep Secure: Keep device physically secure

  4. Report Issues: Report security concerns

  5. Stay Informed: Keep up with security updates

Troubleshooting

Fingerprint Issues

Not Recognized:

  • Clean sensor

  • Try different finger

  • Re-register if needed

  • Check sensor for damage

Recognition Problems:

  • Ensure good contact

  • Try different angles

  • Clean finger

  • Re-register if persistent

Passphrase Issues

Forgotten Passphrase:

  • Use recovery options
