Unable to Install the MyCrypto Desktop Application

When installing apps from third-party developers (like MyCrypto), your operating system may put up a roadblock that attempts to dissuade you from installing it. This roadblock is generally a good thing, as it does help keep users safe from installing harmful applications, though there are instances where the application is not harmful and is simply published by a developer (like MyCrypto) that isn’t officially recognized by that operating system.

A Note on Application Verification and Security

The security roadblocks that operating systems have in place are there for a good reason and protect you from potentially harmful applications.

There are people out there who will make fake versions of real applications, and those fake versions are intended to steal your private keys and steal your cryptocurrency.

You should always verify the authenticity of any application that you download, including the MyCrypto Desktop App.

And as always, do everything that you can to keep yourself and your funds secure.
