  Device pinning is a security feature that links a specific device, such as a smartphone or computer, to a user's cryptocurrency account. By enabling device pinning, users can ensure that only authorized devices can access their accounts. This prevents unauthorized access even if someone obtains the account credentials. When a user logs in from a new device, they will be prompted to enter a unique pin or code sent to their registered device. This adds an extra layer of security and prevents hackers from gaining access to the account.

  Device pinning is like having a personal bodyguard for your cryptocurrency account. It ensures that only the devices you trust can access your account. So even if someone manages to get hold of your account credentials, they won't be able to log in from an unauthorized device. It's like having a secret handshake that only your trusted devices know. This way, you can sleep peacefully knowing that your crypto assets are safe and sound.
