A wallet passphrase is an additional layer of security and anonymity for your ERA Wallet.
-
Even if someone obtains your seed phrase, they cannot access a wallet protected by a passphrase without knowing it.
-
Passphrases allow you to create multiple "hidden" wallets from the same seed, giving you flexibility, privacy, and enhanced protection.
-
This ensures maximum security while maintaining anonymity for your funds.
Accessing the Passphrase Feature
-
Unlock your ERA Wallet.
-
Open the wallet you want to use.
-
From the main wallet page, press the Settings icon in the top-right corner.
-
On the first page of wallet settings, select Passphrase.
Passphrase Options
Once inside the Passphrase menu, you will see three options:
Create — set up a new passphrase. Opens a QWERTY keyboard for entry. Enter your desired passphrase (any length), repeat it, and press OK. Press Done to confirm.
Reset — remove or replace an existing passphrase.
Indication — shows in the top bar whether a passphrase is currently active.
Using Your Passphrase
-
Once created, the passphrase is applied to your wallet whenever signing transactions.
-
To verify, go to Deposit, select a blockchain (e.g., Ethereum), and check the wallet address — it will reflect the passphrase-protected wallet.
-
Transactions must still be signed on the ERA Wallet, keeping your private keys secure.
⚠️ The passphrase remains active while the device is powered on. If the device turns off, the passphrase is cleared for security and must be re-entered when powering back on.
