About
A tool to help manage and protect your cryptocurrency seedphrase.
Wallet Entry
Please follow these steps carefully

- From the word entry screen select the number of words.
- Select whether or not to use the device name. (see Device Naming below.)

Important next steps
- Perform a restore from the details screen. Ensure that it does restore.
- Perform a restore from a printed or saved QRcode. Ensure that it does restore.
- Backup your database and store it and your codes somewhere safe.
- If you used a temporary device name rename it back to the original.
Final steps
- Import your encrypted backup. Check that it does import.
- Ensure that you will never forget your password.
Device Naming
For added security you can choose to use a secret name in conjunction with your password. Doing so means that your seedphrase cannot be restored unless your device is set to the secret name. For instance, if the regular device name is “Alice’s iPhone” it can be temporarily changed to “secret name” and then used when entering a seedphrase. Once the seedphrase is successfully entered the name can be changed back to “Alice’s iPhone”. From there on it will not be possible to restore the seedphrase unless the device name is set to “secret name”.
Steps to take
- Go to settings/general/about/name
- Change the name (Be sure that it is something that you will never forget).
- Follow the wallet entry instructions.
- After a successful wallet entry change back to the original name.
