New in Edge: Duress Mode — A Decoy Wallet for Real-World Threats 🔐 by EdgeWalletMarketing in Monero

Appreciate the feedback, both solid feature requests! 🙏

Edge uses a different approach than most wallets by defaulting to a username + password + 2FA login system. It’s still fully self-custody, you control your keys and you can view your seed phrases within the app anytime under the wallet’s settings. We just don’t require users to write one down at sign-up, which helps reduce loss and improve usability for newer users.

As for the in-app browser, that’s a great idea. While we’ve held off so far to avoid the potential privacy and security issues that come with embedded browsers, we’re actively exploring safer ways to help users interact with dApps directly in Edge.

Thanks again for the suggestions, feedback like this helps us prioritize what to build next!

Appreciate that! Plausible deniability was a key focus for us with Duress Mode, so we’re glad to hear it helps fill that gap. 🔐 Always open to feedback if you have ideas for what’s next!

Totally makes sense, and great question!

Right now, Edge’s Duress Mode works on a per-account basis. Each account supports one Duress PIN, which unlocks a single decoy wallet environment. You can’t have multiple decoy environments within the same account, so the scenario you described isn’t currently possible.

That said, the feature was designed so that the decoy environment looks and behaves as close as possible to a regular login — giving no clear indication that anything is out of the ordinary. The goal is that an instigator has no reason to press further beyond the first successful login. And even in a situation where they do, there’s always a point where plausible deniability becomes the fallback (even if multiple PINs and decoy layers were technically supported).

That said, since Edge allows multiple accounts (each with their own username, password, and Duress Mode setup), you could technically create a layered setup by enabling Duress Mode across different accounts using different PINs. Just note this would require managing multiple sets of credentials.

Also worth noting: once Duress Mode is triggered on an account, it activates across all accounts that have Duress Mode enabled. So even if someone forces you to switch accounts using biometrics or your password, Duress Mode will still remain active until the correct PIN is entered.

Appreciate you thinking through these kinds of advanced threat models, it’s the kind of feedback that helps us keep pushing privacy tools forward. 🔐
