How to enable ‘Whitelisting’?

  • Thereupon, a confirmation email will be sent to your Nexo-registered email account. You will have to confirm your decision within 10 minutes, or the email will expire.

Once the disabling is confirmed via email, there are three possible scenarios:

  1. If you have set an Extra Security Level other than ‘None’, and the 4-hour cool-off period has passed.

    In this scenario, the Whitelisting toggle button will become yellow and a timer will appear next to it.

    This timer will represent the Extra Security Level you have previously set, and it will count down the remaining time that must pass before the Whitelisitng is turned off. Until it reaches zero, the Whitelisting will remain active and you will not be able to make any changes to your Address Book.

    However, you can instantly re-enable the Whitelisting option without having to wait for the Extra Security time to pass.

  2. If you have set an Extra Security Level other than ‘None’, but the 4-hour cool-off period has NOT passed.
  3. If the Extra Security Level is set to ‘None‘.

In the second and third scenarios, you will regain full access to all of the platform’s features right after the disabling of the Whitelisting option is confirmed via email.
