Encrypting your wallet

After your wallet has synchronized with the TWINS network, it is strongly advised to encrypt the wallet with a password or passphrase to prevent unauthorized access.

• To encrypt your wallet, click Settings > Encrypt Wallet.

• You will be asked to enter and verify a password.

Enter a password

• Enter a password and Confirm you want to encrypt your wallet. You should use a strong, new password that you have never used somewhere else. Take note of your password and store it somewhere safe or you will be locked out of your wallet and lose access to your funds.

• When the encryption process is complete, you will see a warning that past backups of your wallet will no longer be usable, and be asked to shut down TWINS Core. When you restart TWINS Core, you will see a small blue lock in the lower right corner.

Thats it, you wallet is now encrypted and you can now begin to use your wallet to safely send and receive funds.
