Settings & Configuration
Access settings by clicking the gear icon in the Anon sidebar.
Security Settings
Session Timeout
Configure how long Anon stays unlocked after your last interaction. Options:
- 5 minutes
- 15 minutes (default)
- 1 hour
- 4 hours
- Until browser close
After the timeout, Anon requires re-authentication (passkey tap or password entry) to unlock.
Auto-Lock on OS Lock
When enabled, Anon locks immediately when your operating system locks (screen lock, sleep). This is on by default.
Change Password
If you use password authentication, you can change your password in Security → Change Password. You'll need to enter your current password and confirm the new one. Your encrypted key material is re-encrypted with the new password.
Network Configuration
RPC Endpoints
Anon connects to EVM networks via RPC endpoints. Default endpoints are provided for all supported networks. To use a custom RPC:
- Go to Settings → Networks
- Select the network
- Enter your RPC URL
- Tap Save
Custom RPCs are useful if you run your own node or have a private RPC from a provider like Alchemy or Infura.
Broadcaster Network
Choose your preferred transaction mode:
- Waku — decentralized broadcaster network
- Paymaster — Anon's gas sponsorship service
- Self-broadcast — direct submission from your public address
See Broadcaster Network for details.
Backup & Recovery
View Recovery Phrase
To view your 12-word mnemonic:
- Go to Settings → Backup
- Authenticate (passkey or password)
- Your mnemonic is displayed — write it down immediately
For security, Anon never copies the mnemonic to your clipboard automatically.
Export Private Key
You can export the private key for your public EOA. This is useful if you want to import your account into another wallet. The private key is shown after authentication.
Linked Wallets
You can link additional public Ethereum addresses to your Anon profile (e.g., a Ledger hardware wallet or a Watch-only address). Linked wallets are display-only — Anon can show their balances but cannot sign transactions for them unless you import the private key.
Profile Management
Settings → Profile lets you manage your .anon.buzz username, avatar, display name, bio, and social links. See Usernames for full details.
