LockoutGuard Setup

Overview

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for setting up and configuring the Lockout Guard feature for your UnoLock vault.

Access Lockout Guard Settings

  1. From the main menu, select Configuration.
  2. Navigate to the Lockout Guard configuration.
  3. Read the information prompt carefully.
  4. Click Next to proceed.

Set a PIN for Lockout Guard

  1. Respond to the prompt asking whether the PIN should match your current PIN or be different.
  2. Choose Yes (to match) or No (to use a different PIN) based on your preference.

Enable Notifications

  1. Review the notification prompt asking if notifications should be enabled on your device.
  2. If you choose to enable notifications (recommended), follow the on-screen prompts to allow them on your device.
  3. Wait for a confirmation prompt indicating that notifications have been set.
  4. Click Next to continue.
  5. Note: Enabling notifications is optional but highly recommended for Lockout Guard to function effectively.

Set the Minimum Safe Access Interval

  1. Choose the minimum safe access interval, which defines the period of inactivity after which Lockout Guard will trigger (e.g., 30 days means the guard activates if you haven’t accessed your vault in 30 days).
  2. Click Next.

Specify the Warning Period

  1. Set the number of days for Lockout Guard to send warning notifications before fully activating (e.g., if the minimum safe access interval is 30 days and warnings are set to 7 days, notifications will be sent daily starting on day 30, and Lockout Guard will activate after 7 days if you do not access your vault).
  2. Click Next.

Authenticate and Store Credentials

  1. Authenticate using your device’s usual method (e.g., fingerprint scan, facial recognition, or FIDO2 passkey).
  2. Review the QR code and Lockout Guard credential displayed.
  3. Print, save, or securely store the QR code and credential.
  4. Note: These are critical for accessing your vault if Lockout Guard is triggered.
  5. Click Done once the QR code and credential are securely stored.

Confirm Lockout Guard Activation

  1. Review the confirmation prompt indicating that Lockout Guard is active.
  2. Wait for a test notification to be sent to verify functionality.
  3. Click Close to exit the Lockout Guard window.

Update Lockout Guard Settings (Optional)

  1. To change Lockout Guard settings in the future, navigate back to the Lockout Guard configuration.
  2. Click Generate New QR Code to update the guard settings and credentials.
  3. Securely store the new QR code and credentials.

Ensure Safe Expiry Alignment

  1. Verify that your vault’s expiry date does not fall within the Lockout Guard trigger time frame.
  2. Extend your vault’s lifetime as needed to maintain proper functionality.
