Security at Kissend

This page is the plain description of the controls that ship. Marketing lines do not add a control that the app does not have.

In the app

A private chat, with the locks.

  • A username instead of your phone number.
  • App lock, a hidden list, and a decoy PIN.
  • A vault for files, away from the gallery.
  • Friend chats and groups are free.

Sign-in

New accounts confirm an email code. The code expires, can be resent after a wait, and locks after too many wrong tries. Google can be linked to an existing email. An unverified or suspended account cannot sign in.

Forgot-password reset signs every device out. You can also sign out this device only, or every other device, from the account. Deleting the account clears the token balance.

Safety tools

Block and report are available from a chat. Admin can see an open report queue. You confirm before a block, and the chat leaves your list.

PINs for the app lock, the hidden list, and a single chat are hashes. Email can reset the app lock and the hidden PIN. One chat PIN can also be reset by email.
