How to Use the Private Wallet?
Private Wallet is a feature designed to improve wallet privacy during use. After enabling App Lock, users can add “subspaces.” Each subspace can independently create or import wallets and set an independent access password.
The next time the user opens the wallet, the system will enter the corresponding wallet space based on the password entered. For example, if the main space is set with Password A and a subspace is set with Password B, entering Password A will enter the main space, while entering Password B will enter the corresponding subspace.
Please note that the password for Private Wallet is only used to enter the corresponding space. It is not the same as a mnemonic phrase or private key. If you forget the password of a subspace, you can only re-import the wallet using the mnemonic phrase or private key corresponding to the wallet in that space to recover the on-chain assets.
Private Wallet Entry
Android Entry
Open TokenPocket, tap “Me” at the bottom, and then tap “Security.”
On the “Security” page, find and enter “App Lock.” After enabling App Lock and setting the password for the current space, you will see the “Add Subspace” entry.
iOS Entry
Open TP Wallet, tap “Me” in the lower-right corner, and then tap “Security.”
After entering the “Security” page, tap “App Lock,” enable the “Enable” switch, and set the App Lock password according to the page prompts. After completing the setup, you will see the “Add Subspace” entry.
Create a Private Wallet Subspace
After enabling App Lock, users can create a new private space through “Add Subspace.” Each subspace needs to set a separate space name and access password.
Step 1: Add a Subspace
On the App Lock page, tap “Add Subspace.” After entering the creation prompt page, tap “Start Creating.”
Then customize the space name according to the page prompts and tap “Next.”
Step 2: Set the Subspace Password
Set an access password for the newly created subspace. This password will be used as the wallet password to enter this subspace. Please be sure to remember it.
After completing the password setup, tap “Enter Space.”
Step 3: Create or Import a Wallet in the Subspace
After entering the newly created subspace, the page will display a brand-new wallet creation or import interface. Users can choose “Create Wallet” or “Import Wallet” according to their needs.
After the wallet is created or imported, the wallet will be saved in the current subspace. The next time you open the wallet, enter the password corresponding to this subspace to enter the corresponding wallet space.
How Private Wallet Works
The core logic of Private Wallet is to enter different spaces through different passwords. Wallet data in each space is independent from each other. The system will enter the space corresponding to the password entered by the user.
For example:
Main Space
Password A
Main Space Wallet
Subspace 1
Password B
Subspace 1 Wallet
Subspace 2
Password C
Subspace 2 Wallet
Therefore, when using Private Wallet, please be sure to distinguish and remember the password corresponding to each space. Wallets in different spaces need to have their mnemonic phrases or private keys backed up separately.
Important Notes When Using Private Wallet
Private Wallet can improve wallet privacy, but it cannot replace mnemonic phrase or private key backup. After creating or importing a wallet, users still need to properly save the corresponding wallet keys, including the mnemonic phrase and private key.
Please note:
Each subspace needs to set an independent password.
The subspace password cannot be the same as the password of another space.
Entering different passwords will lead to different wallet spaces.
Wallets created or imported in a subspace need to have their mnemonic phrases or private keys backed up separately.
After forgetting the password of a subspace, you cannot directly enter that space.
If you forget the password, you can only re-import the wallet using the mnemonic phrase or private key.
Turning off App Lock will affect the way different subspaces are switched through passwords.
TokenPocket does not save users’ space passwords, mnemonic phrases, or private keys.
Do not disclose your wallet password, mnemonic phrase, or private key to anyone.
FAQ
Can the passwords of subspaces be set to the same?
No. The password of each subspace needs to be different from the passwords of other spaces. The system uses different passwords to identify and enter different wallet spaces.
What should I do if I forget the password of a subspace?
If you forget the password of a subspace, you will not be able to directly enter that space using the password.
You need to use the mnemonic phrase or private key of the wallet in that subspace to re-import the wallet and recover the corresponding on-chain assets.
Does each subspace need to back up the mnemonic phrase or private key separately?
Yes. Wallets in different spaces are independent from each other. After creating or importing a wallet in a subspace, you need to back up the mnemonic phrase or private key of that wallet separately.
Will TokenPocket save my subspace password?
No. TokenPocket does not save users’ space passwords, mnemonic phrases, or private keys. Please keep your password and key information safe.
Is the Private Wallet password the same as the mnemonic phrase or private key?
No. The Private Wallet password is only used to enter the corresponding wallet space. The mnemonic phrase and private key are the key information used to control on-chain assets.
If you forget the password, you can recover assets by re-importing the wallet with the mnemonic phrase or private key. However, if the mnemonic phrase or private key is lost, the assets cannot be recovered.
What happens if App Lock is turned off?
Turning off App Lock will affect the way different subspaces are entered through different passwords. If you need to continue using Private Wallet and subspace switching, please keep App Lock enabled.
Summary
Private Wallet helps users improve wallet privacy by using different passwords to enter different wallet spaces. The main space and subspaces are independent from each other, and each space can create or import wallets separately.
When using this feature, please be sure to remember the password of each space and back up the mnemonic phrase or private key of each wallet separately. The space password is only used to enter the corresponding wallet space and cannot replace the mnemonic phrase or private key.
TokenPocket does not save users’ space passwords, mnemonic phrases, or private keys. Please keep your wallet key information safe and do not disclose it to anyone.
