Intro
Everything works fine—until it doesn’t. Theft or loss of a device can be stressful, so it’s best to plan ahead and know how to respond.
Proactive
There are both reactive and proactive ways to handle device theft or loss. Proactively, make sure you have enough redundancy to recover your data later. We recommend syncing as many devices as is appropriate for your privacy needs, and doing so regularly. Zxbase can help by showing a warning if the latest updates haven’t been synced with any other device.
Reactive
Reactively, if you suspect a device is no longer under your control, isolate it immediately. The most effective way to do this is to remove it from the list of devices on all your paired devices.
To do so: go to Devices, select the device, tap its name, choose Edit, and then press Delete.
This will stop all communication with that device. Be sure to perform this action on all devices you control.
Tips and tricks
Configure your least-used device to block incoming updates. Occasionally, bring it online and sync it with your other devices, approving updates manually. This helps ensure that your data won’t be accidentally overwritten or compromised.
