How to remove a website from my Phantom wallet trusted list?

Understanding the Phantom Wallet Trusted List

Phantom wallet is a popular non-custodial wallet for interacting with decentralized applications (dApps) on the Solana blockchain. When you connect your wallet to a dApp, you are prompted to approve or deny access. If you approve, that website gets added to your trusted list in Phantom. The trusted list essentially keeps track of websites that have been granted permission to interact with your wallet.

This feature is designed for convenience, as it prevents repeated prompts when revisiting approved sites. However, if you no longer trust a site or want to improve security by limiting access, it's important to know how to remove it from your trusted list.

Accessing the Phantom Wallet Settings

To manage your trusted list, you need to open the Phantom wallet interface. This can be done through your browser extension or mobile app. In most cases, users will interact with the wallet via the browser extension when using desktop versions.

• Click on the Phantom extension icon in your browser toolbar
• Unlock your wallet if necessary by entering your password
• Look for the settings gear icon, typically located at the bottom-left corner

Navigating into settings allows you to access advanced options, including managing connected websites and adjusting permissions.

Locating the Trusted Websites Section

Once inside the settings menu, scroll down or look for a section labeled 'Connected sites' or 'Trusted websites.' This section displays all the websites that currently have permission to interact with your Phantom wallet.

Each entry may include:

• The domain name of the website
• A disconnect button or trash icon next to each entry
• A brief description of what permissions were granted

It’s important to carefully review this list before making any changes, especially if you're unsure which site you want to remove.

Removing a Website from the Trusted List

To remove a specific website:

• Locate the domain you wish to remove from the trusted list
• Hover over the entry or click on it to reveal options
• Click the disconnect or remove button associated with that site

You may be asked to confirm your action. Once confirmed, the website will no longer appear in your trusted list, and future interactions with that site will require reauthorization.

If you're unable to find the website you're looking for, consider checking for variations of the domain (e.g., www.example.com vs example.com), as these might appear separately.

Verifying the Removal Was Successful

After performing the removal process, refresh the connected sites section to ensure the domain has disappeared from the list. You can also test by visiting the removed website and attempting to connect your wallet again.

When you try to reconnect:

• Phantom should prompt you to approve or deny access once more
• This confirms that the website was successfully removed from your trusted list

If the website still connects automatically, repeat the steps above to ensure correct execution.
