Feature Request: Multi-Device Access & Authentication Options for Non-Wallet Environments

Feature Request: Multi-Device Access & Authentication Options for Non-Wallet Environments

Purpose: Enable users to access their Venice.ai account/data across devices without requiring direct crypto wallet access on every device, while preserving core security principles.

User Story:
As a Venice.ai user with a wallet-based account, I want to securely access my chat history and settings on devices where I can't/don't want to install my crypto wallet, so I'm not locked out if my primary wallet-enabled device is lost or compromised.

Proposed Solutions:

1. Multi-Device Sync System

   • Encrypted cloud backup (user-controlled keys) syncing chat history/settings across devices

   • Manual export/import of encrypted browser data via QR codes or files

2. Alternative Authentication Layer

   • Passkey integration: Generate wallet-linked passkeys (WebAuthn) for passwordless logins

   • Emergency access codes: Create time-limited, revocable backup codes derived from wallet signatures

   • Read-only mode: Access chat history via 2FA-protected email/SMS without full wallet connection

Technical Considerations:

• Maintain zero-knowledge architecture: Never store unencrypted data on Venice servers

• Wallet remains primary auth method - new options would be secondary layers

• Encryption keys could be derived from wallet signatures + user-defined PIN

Additional Notes:

• Aligns with existing local data storage model (extended with optional sync)

• Could be Venice Pro exclusive feature to incentivize subscriptions

• Preserves decentralization ethos while improving accessibility
