VanishingPoint Tips
How to get the most out of your invisible workspace — and why it keeps your credentials, banking and crypto out of reach of anything on your own device.
Your Workspace, Temporary Workspace — and what Reset does ›
Your Workspace restores your settings, favorites and browsing history each time you sign in — everything is saved encrypted between sessions.
Temporary Workspace gives you a brand-new desktop with nothing carried over, and nothing is saved when it ends.
Ticking Reset when signing in wipes your saved workspace back to factory default — settings, history, everything — so you can start afresh. This cannot be undone.
Secure login with MFA and proof-of-presence ›
Scan the login QR with your phone and approve the sign-in there. Your phone is a second factor you physically hold, and the approval is proof that you are present — a stolen password alone is useless.
The Invisible Keyboard — credentials never touch your device ›
Open the Invisible Keyboard by scanning the QR from the desktop icon or the launch screen. What you type on your phone is injected directly into the remote machine — keystrokes never pass through the computer in front of you.
A keylogger or screen-scraper on your local device sees nothing: no keystrokes, no mouse targets, just streamed pixels.
Bank, exchange or wallet — inside an invisible machine ›
Everything you open runs inside a remote, isolated machine. Your own computer only ever receives an encrypted video stream — sites, session cookies, account pages and balances exist solely in the invisible machine, out of reach of local malware.
Reconstruct your cryptocurrency wallet ›
Use the wallet apps in the Crypto menu (Sparrow, Electrum, Exodus and more) to restore a wallet from your seed phrase inside the invisible machine — the seed is entered with the Invisible Keyboard, so it never exists on your local device.
Hardware wallets connect through USB passthrough, so the device talks to the remote wallet app directly.
Pasting from your local password manager ›
Copy a password in your local manager and paste it straight into the workspace (from Chrome-based browsers). Or skip the local hop entirely: log into your password manager inside VanishingPoint, where it's shielded like everything else.
On the phone, the Invisible Keyboard's Paste button pastes from your phone's clipboard.
A clipboard malware can't read ›
The clipboard is one-way by design. What you copy inside the workspace stays in the workspace — malware on your local machine can never read it.
Going the other way works when you choose it: copy locally, paste into the workspace via your local clipboard.
Drag-and-drop files into the workspace ›
Drag a file from your computer onto the desktop window and it uploads into the remote machine, ready to use there.
Download files from the workspace ›
Use the Files button in the desktop toolbar to browse the remote machine and download what you need to your local computer — an explicit action, never automatic.
Network dropouts, reconnecting and suspended sessions ›
If your connection drops, a banner tells you so and the page keeps trying to reconnect. Get back within 5 minutes and you carry on exactly where you were.
After 5 minutes without a viewer your desktop is suspended — sign back in within the next 15 minutes and it resumes. Beyond that the session closes and your workspace settings are saved for next time.
Anti-hijacking: no interception, replication or playback ›
Each session is bound to you: the stream is end-to-end encrypted, session credentials are single-use and scoped to your desktop, and the desktop itself runs in an isolated origin. A captured stream can't be replayed, and a session can't be silently cloned to a second watcher.
Choose browser plugins carefully ›
A browser plugin you install in your workspace stays there — and can read everything you access in that browser: your exchange, your banking, all of it.
We recommend not installing browser plugins. You have the freedom to do it — just be careful about what you trust.
Start afresh with Reset ›
Tick Reset when logging in to wipe your workspace's memory — settings, history, everything — like a reset to factory default. Useful if something feels off, or you simply want a clean slate.
You can't undo this step once done.
