Setting up a signing profile
You need a signing profile in each workspace where you sign. You create a software profile protected by a wallet password and a recovery phrase, or connect a Trezor.
#Adding a software signing profile
- Open Signing Profile.
- Select Add signing profile.
- Enter a name for the profile and an account number. Use a different account number for each profile you create from the same recovery phrase.
- Set a wallet password.
- Write down the recovery phrase you are shown, and confirm it.
The profile's key is created in your browser and stored there, encrypted under your wallet password.
Your recovery phrase is the only backup
Store it offline, somewhere secure, and never share it. If you clear your browser's storage or change device, you restore the profile from the phrase. Without it, the key cannot be recovered by anyone, including SQRL.
#Connecting a Trezor
- Open Signing Profile and select Use Hardware Wallet.
- Connect your Trezor, enter its PIN, and approve the connection on the device.
- Check that the address shown on the device matches the one shown on screen. Registration stops if they differ.
You can register one hardware wallet per workspace.
#Locking and unlocking a profile
A software profile locks when you sign out or switch network. To use the profile again, select Unlock and enter your wallet password.
#Restoring a profile
To restore a software profile in a new browser, add a signing profile from your recovery phrase with the same account number. Profiles you removed can be restored from the Signing Profile page.
