- Back up
- If you lose this computer
- Your wallet lives in your browser, so back it up yourself. It's under File › Backup…
- Backup shows your twelve words again. They're blurred in this video: on your screen they're clear.
- Write the words on paper, in order, and keep the paper somewhere safe. Never type them into a website or send them to anyone.
- Backup can also save an encrypted copy of your wallet file. It opens only with your password.
- Lost the computer or the browser? Your twelve words make the same wallet again: every address and every coin comes back.
- No arcade, not even this one, can reset your password or bring back lost words. That's what keeps your coins only yours.
