Before using your Keycard Shell, verify its authenticity to ensure it has not been tampered with and it runs authentic firmware.
Keycard Shell verification is optional, but we strongly advise verifying your device before using it. This is a security measure designed to protect you from using a fake or compromised device.
In addition to your Keycard and Keycard Shell, you need a computer or mobile device to access the verification page ↗ to complete the verification process.

During verification, the Shell signs a one-time QR challenge and includes its device certificate. The verification service validates the signature and certificate, then returns the verification result and history. You then scan a final QR code with the Shell to confirm that the result is not altered by the browser. Check out Keycard Shell verification: How you can proof your Shell is authentic ↗ to learn more. If your Keycard Shell is not authentic, stop using it and contact the Keycard team on Discord ↗.
