Think of it as a reliable device that will firmly protect your digital assets, Bitcoin, just like a passport, which is essential for traveling abroad.

It's a good thing that there are more options to safely protect your assets!
Here are the amazing features of Passport Prime!
Well, this future security device "Passport Prime" will have some great features that will make our Bitcoin life safer and more comfortable. Let's take a look at them one by one!
- NFC compatible for easy operation!
Have you ever heard of NFC? It is an abbreviation for "Near Field Communication" and is called "Short-distance wireless communicationIt is an incredibly convenient technology that is used in things that are familiar to us, such as the "Osaifu-Keitai" mobile wallet that allows you to make payments by holding your smartphone over a store terminal, and transportation IC cards (such as Suica and PASMO!) that allow you to pass through ticket gates with a tap.
If this NFC function is installed in Passport Prime, for example, when paying with Bitcoin, you may be able to complete the transaction safely and smoothly by simply holding the device over a compatible smartphone or store terminal. Eliminating the hassle of connecting cables and reading QR codes is a big advantage when considering daily use! - Further strengthen security with 2FA (two-factor authentication)!
2FA is an abbreviation for "Two-Factor Authentication."Two-step authentication" When you log in to your online banking or social media account, have you ever entered your ID and password, and then been asked to enter a temporary verification code sent to your smartphone, or had to perform an approval operation using a special app? That is exactly what two-step authentication is.
This is a very powerful security mechanism that prevents unauthorized access even if the first key, the password, is discovered by a malicious third party (such as a hacker) without the second key (such as a verification code, biometric authentication, or a dedicated device). By incorporating this 2FA concept, Passport Prime is expected to further protect your Bitcoin. - A stylish and easy-to-use design that you'll want to use every day!
When you hear the term "security product," you might imagine a clunky, difficult-to-operate device for professionals. But don't worry! Passport Prime is not only functional,Beautiful appearance and ease of use (called user-friendliness)It seems that the design was particular about the ease of use. The aim was to create a design that is easy to hold and intuitive to use, so even beginners may be able to use it with confidence. Because it is something that you use every day, the stylish design and the ingenuity that makes it fun to use are very nice points!
First of all, why does Bitcoin need its own safeguards?
At this point, some of you may be wondering, "Why can't I use a normal PC or smartphone? Why does Bitcoin need such special security features?" That's a very good question!
Digital assets like Bitcoin require a "cash on delivery" to prove their value and to send and receive them.Private key" is used, which is a very important digital password. Think of this as something much more important, like a "PIN" for a bank account combined with a "registered seal." Anyone with this private key can move the bitcoin freely, so it must never be known to anyone else.
The computers and smartphones we use every day are always connected to the Internet, so unfortunately they are at risk of being infected with a virus or hacked. If you were to store your private key in such a dangerous place...it's scary to even think about it.
That's where the idea comes in:Hardware wallet (a dedicated device that is physically isolated from the internet and is used to safely store and manage private keys)". Passport Prime can be considered a type of hardware wallet. These devices store private keys in a secure chip inside the device, and the signature required for Bitcoin transactions (like stamping a seal) is also performed within the device, so the risk of private keys being leaked to the outside is minimized. Even if your computer is full of viruses, the hardware wallet will protect your private keys.
New devices like Passport Prime aim to protect this basic security while using NFC and sleek design to make Bitcoin safe and convenient for even more people.
