Trust Your Device Screen

The first tips card asks you to confirm the address and amount on your KeepKey before you approve. The device screen lets you review a request separately from the computer that sent it.

Confirming a transaction on the device

This matters because the computer can be wrong in ways you can’t see on it. Clipboard malware can swap a destination address, a malicious dApp can request more than its page claims, and a compromised app can misreport an amount. Compare what the device shows with what you intended to do, not with what the computer shows. If they differ, reject the request.

What the device can show depends on firmware and on how well the request is decoded. A hash or raw data is not an explanation. See Signing and Approvals.
