# Add a Panic Button

To set up a Panic Button, you must first add your wallet as a monitored address. 

Jump to [Add a Monitored Address ->](https://docs.lossless.io/aegis/add-a-monitored-address)

Afterward, open your monitored address and navigate to the Panic Button tab:

1. **Connect your wallet** address to Aegis and verify ownership.

{% hint style="info" %}
Aegis cannot access your wallet, but you need to sign a message confirming you are the owner of the account and have permission to manage the wallet’s funds.
{% endhint %}

2. **Add a secure backup address**\
   Aegis does not check the ownership of this address. It is your responsibility to designate a secure backup address that only you can access. We strongly recommend utilizing cold wallet storage as your secure backup.
3. **Specify the tokens to safeguard in case of emergency**\
   Aegis will create a set of pre-configured transactions for your specified tokens, ready to be executed after you activate the Panic Button.
