You can change the **wallet mode** at any time from the **Settings** tab in the mobile app.\
If you are using a **biometric cold wallet**, make sure to set the wallet mode to **"Biometric"** in the mobile app. For instructions on how to change the wallet mode, [**refer to this guide**](/dcent-app/mobile-app-setting-menu/manage-all-wallets.md).

### **App Password Registration**

To protect your **D'CENT mobile app**, you must set a **6-digit password**. This **app password** will be required **every time you launch the D'CENT mobile app**, so be sure to remember it.

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/Hlam9pH5CxGddPDZVAue" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

{% hint style="info" %}
You can change your **app password** later through the app [**Settings menu**](/dcent-app/mobile-app-setting-menu.md)**.**

In addition to the app password, you can also **enable fingerprint recognition** for added security.
{% endhint %}

### **Mobile App Permission Settings**

A permission request popup will appear when you launch the D’CENT mobile app. Review the permissions being requested, then click **“Confirm”** button to proceed.

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/n2EkEriN8MwTzWB5hL9z" alt="" width="377"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

Next, click the **“Allow”** button for both the **Notification** and **Nearby Devices** permissions to continue.

{% hint style="danger" %}
The **Notification** permission is optional. You can click the **“Don’t allow” button** and still connect your wallet without any issues. However, the **Nearby Devices** permission is **required** for syncing with the cold wallet.\
If access is denied, the cold wallet cannot be synced, and usage will be restricted.\
Therefore, be sure to allow this permission.
{% endhint %}

If the permission popup does not appear, or if you accidentally clicked the **“Don’t allow”** button, you can manually enable the **Nearby Devices** permission by following the steps shown below.

Please refer to [**this guide**](#how-to-check-the-device-id) on how to check the device ID of your cold wallet.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If the device ID of your cold wallet does not appear in the **"Search Device"** popup, please make sure that **Bluetooth is enabled** in your Android phone’s settings. If you're unsure how to access the Bluetooth menu, please refer to [**this guide**](#android-phone-bluetooth-settings).
{% endhint %}

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/1XYGQ9M7M1iLaidXDzvt" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

**3)** When you tap the device ID, the cold wallet will sync automatically. It may take a few seconds for the synchronization to begin.

**4)** When synchronization is complete:

* A **connection indicator** will appear in the **top** of the **mobile app**.
* A **blue Bluetooth connection light** will stay turned on in the **top right corner** of the **cold wallet**.

{% endhint %}

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/5dPezXkQj2BnUkkCJSr1" alt="" width="386"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>
