Locking and Unlocking Your Freewallet

Freewallet offers you to create a password for the device which you are using Freewallet. This password is never broadcast or shared and is kept internally on your device. This password will not be needed to recover your wallet if your device is lost.

This password is only for accessing the irreversible functions on the Freewallet software. This password can be reset by logging out of your wallet and re-entering your 12 word seed phrase.

To lock your wallet so it will need a password entry for any action click the “Lock” icon in the upper right of Freewallet
