Wipe code is an advanced user feature that lets you set a "self-destruct" PIN code.
⚠️ Before setting a wipe code, make sure you check the validity of your recovery seed!
Once set, you can enter the wipe code in the PIN dialog whenever you connect your device. When the wipe code is entered, the device immediately erases all private data including the wallet backup (recovery seed).
Wipe code settings are found via ⚙️ Settings > Device in the Danger Area:
