Скачать или смотреть Daedalus Wallet recovery phrase verification

Sometimes users are unsure if they have the correct wallet recovery phrase for each of the wallets they are using. Especially if we have multiple wallets, and they don't know which recovery phrase is associated with which wallet. We have built the "wallet recovery phrase verification" feature to solve this problem.

Every wallet in Daedalus has a recovery phrase, which is a sequence of 12 or more English words that need to be written down in the correct order and stored offline, usually on a piece of
paper. This piece of paper can be laminated so it is sealed and protected against water and abrasion.

Your wallet recovery phrase serves as a wallet backup. To restore a wallet at any later point in time, we need to have that wallet recovery phrase. It is the only thing needed to restore a wallet.

Spending passwords and wallet names, which are entered during wallet creation, are not required for wallet recovery. It is essential to keep only your wallet recovery phrase safely stored offline.

In the settings for each wallet, there is now a new section titled "Do you have your wallet recovery phrase?"

The "wallet recovery phrase verification" feature solves this problem in two ways.

First, this feature will warn users if their recovery phrase has not been verified for an extended period of time.

Second, users can check what they think is the correct wallet recovery phrase against the wallet that they believe it belongs to. This helps users maintain their wallet recovery phrases over time because they are prompted to use them more frequently.

Previously you only needed to use your wallet recovery phrase when you needed to restore your wallet on another computer. Note that you can check your wallet recovery phrase using this feature at any time, regardless if there is a warning or not.

Here for my "Wallet #3" in Daedalus, I can see a green check-mark since this wallet was recently created or restored, or I have recently verified my wallet recovery phrase.

Daedalus is recommending for wallet recovery phrase to be verified after 6 months.

We can choose to ignore this recommendation if we are sure we have the correct wallet recovery phrase. Or we can verify it at any point, regardless of warnings in Daedalus, if we are not sure we have a correct one.

Here, in the wallet settings for my "Wallet #2", I can see that my wallet recovery phrase was verified 9 months ago, so Daedalus is
giving me a yellow warning.

Daedalus is showing yellow warnings if the wallet recovery phrase was not verified for more than 6 months and up to 1 year.

And if you take a look at my "Wallet #1" in the list of wallets, you can see a red dot next to this wallet.

This red dot is guiding me to wallet settings for this wallet.

And when I go there, I can see a red warning saying that I have not verified the recovery phrase for this wallet for more than a year.

Again, I can choose to ignore this warning if I am sure I have the correct wallet recovery phrase, and I don't want to expose my wallet recovery phrase to unnecessary risk by taking it out of the safe place where I am keeping it.

Or I can click the "Verify wallet recovery phrase" button to go through the verification process.

I will do that now.

The first screen is informing me that this wallet uses a 12-word recovery phrase.

And I need to tick a checkbox to confirm that nobody is watching my screen because anyone in possession of my wallet recovery phrase can take control of the funds in my wallet.

I will enter my wallet recovery phrase now.

I am done with my entry, and I will click Verify.

My verification was not successful because I have entered the wrong word at the last word of my wallet recovery phrase.

I will go back and replace the last word with the correct one.

My verification was successful this time, and I can immediately see in the background that my red warning for this wallet is now green.

To close this window, I need to confirm that I will return my wallet recovery phrase to a secure place for safekeeping by clicking this checkbox.

Thank you for watching this presentation and please make sure you keep your wallet recovery phrases safe.
