This topic covers instructions for installing PreVeil and creating an account on an iPhone or iPad for the first time. If you already have a PreVeil account on another device, read about transferring an existing PreVeil account to a new device.

Info

Since the PreVeil account that gets created is permanently associated with this email address, it is important that personal PreVeil accounts be created with personal email addresses (not work email addresses).

You do not have to enter a password to create a PreVeil account. Your private key is your password. This makes for a much more secure account because:

  • No one can steal your key--it's never stored on a server

  • The encryption key is random and lengthy--it cannot be guessed

  • Keys are unique and not recycled--it's yours and yours alone
