qikfox Safe Browser is a Premium paid offering that is designed to keep you safe on Internet. The Security PIN is a crucial artifact that is used to encrypt your identity information within your browser (on your local machine). Without this PIN no one (including qikfox Browser) can decrypt your profile information. Please remember your security key and keep it safe. 

Why am I being asked for the security PIN while browsing? 

The Security PIN gives you access to numerous premium features in your browser. The PIN request is triggered after 15 minutes of inactivity to ensure that your information is safeguarded. 

What if I lose my security key? 

qikfox servers have the ability to generate your key anonymously by associating it with one-way hash of your phone number. In short, you can retrieve your key by simply clicking on "Forgot my PIN", entering the phone number associated with the PIN, and the PIN will be sent to your phone. Simple as that.
