IMPORTANT: - You will need to enter your password to sign off transactions, to unlock your seed phrase, transfer between wallets, enter and withdraw funds from LP, and when you initially connect to THORSwap. - Make sure it is a secure password. - Do not Forget it! As this may cause you to lose your funds! - The best place to store your password? In your brain. Or if you are forgetful then write it down, laminate it and then store it in a safe place. Preferably in a vault in a bank with a cute but vicious guard dog.
After you click 'Backup Keystore', you will get your encrypted Keystore file:
please store it safely! As your funds may be lost if you lose the file!
DO NOT share your Keystore file with anyone, and please don’t put it on the cloud unless it is an encrypted cloud storage service.
