Why should I enable cookies and allow pop-ups?
Torus does not store cookies, but our 3rd-party login providers do. For example, Google login stores a cookie in your browser for authentication purposes.
Using pop-ups as the login page is the most secure way of logging in and interacting with our wallet. In-page windows or modals carry the risk of clickjacking, a malicious technique which creates a version of our login page that is invisible to the user in an attempt to steal their login information. Although pop-ups can be slightly user-unfriendly, we prioritize security over convenience.
If you use any 3rd-party Adblocker or pop-up blocking extensions with your browser, please disable them when using Torus Wallet or any of our sites.
We recommend using Google Chrome as a preferred browser when accessing Torus Wallet or Web3Auth sites
