Title: PIN for Blockchain wallet on Android device Post by: TheGift73 on July 20, 2014, 08:29:09 PM Hi,
I have just set up a new wallet on the official Blockchain site, and have paired it to my mobile device using the latest app for Android. I have set up 2FA, verified via SMS, so security wise I have done everything available on BC. However, when I scanned the QR code via my app, it asked for a 4 digit PIN number. I can't seem to find this anywhere. The SMS and email verification codes were all 5 digits. Any clues as to where I may locate this? Regards, Richard Title: Re: PIN for Blockchain wallet on Android device Post by: roslinpl on July 20, 2014, 10:22:59 PM Hi, I have just set up a new wallet on the official Blockchain site, and have paired it to my mobile device using the latest app for Android.

Regards, Richard As I remember good - just after I downloaded Blockchain.info for Android after installation on the 1st run I was asked to set up my PIN number (4 digits). If you don't remember doin' that well you might have a problem. As PIN will be needed. Regards.

Think I will stick to the qt wallet for now. Thank you for your responses though. If anyone else has used the app on BC, let me know how it was for you.

Try it again later, but I am sure you are now a bit angry why not try to download a other Wallet like Xapo ?

It's well-encrypted, and aside from the PRNG issue that affected every Android wallet it's had no issues. However, I still wouldn't keep too much money on a phone wallet (only about $10-$40 or so, depending on Bitcoin's price, even though I have backups of the keys elsewhere), but that's up to you.

You can also encrypt you Phone with AES256bit. Secure enough? |
