## Lock your Comet wallet

{% hint style="info" %}
It's important to know that besides being able to manually lock your wallet, Comet has a built-in [Auto-Lock](/features/auto-lock.md) feature. This means that after **5 minutes of inactivity**, your Comet wallet will lock itself.
{% endhint %}

1. If you want to **lock your wallet** after you have used it, navigate to “**Wallet Management**”, found in the **top right corner** of the wallet interface.<br>
