Why does Wire show the location of where I added a device in my devices list?

  • Updated August 03, 2022 16:07

In your list of devices Wire shows where you first logged in, for each device that you add. This helps you to identify if this was in fact you who logged in.

For more information, see section 2.2.2 of Wire's security whitepaper.
