Great video, thanks! So, just to confirm: If you don’t have a cold wallet yet, you’ll first need to create a seed phrase. After that, you should factory reset the three Tangem cards. Once that's done, you'll start over, but this time, select the 'Import Wallet' option, add the seed phrase add then add a passphrase. Is that correct?

This is great thanks, the card reset each time is a pain though. With my safepal I can choose passphrase and if I select no it takes me back to my original wallet and if I choose yes I enter the passphrase for the hidden wallet, similar for trezor. I will say one tip maybe is to transfer all crypto to another cold wallet first but maybe leave a test amount in if possible because the first time I tried this on my safepal I thought I’d messed it right up because I couldn’t reconnect my original wallet, two days I was panicking like mad 😂

Thanks for the video. I understood that passpharase cannot be set up during generating new seed phrase. We need to reset the wallet and import using the seed phrase and then we can set the pass phrase right ?

Also one more question if anyone hacks my seed phrase he cannot steal my crypto unless he has the pass phrase right ?

[DocMr.E]

What about using the Tangem app on a de-googled phone such as Graphene or CalyxOs?

I need to know
The two cards that you use for the video was used for the same old wallet?
My wallet has 3 cards., should i reset all 3 cards or just one

[nowheretorun]

I'm confused. I created my wallet, no option for seed phrase.
I have to factory reset my wallet to get a seed phrase? Wut?
Why would I import a seed phrase from another wallet?
Why not just start over?
I don't want to send any crypto to it right now because it's very confusing.

What about connecting 3 Tangem cards with a Metamask account? Heard from someone that it should not be the same seed phrases for both of them. 1 seed phrase för each wallet. So you keep the hardware wallet more secure. Right ? / thanks again for all the great information videos. 😊

Will tangem show my private key for me to note it down as I do for my seed phrase?

[DannyBrooks]

Do the cards ever expire of degrade over time?

I've just now gotten around to trying this, and kind of ran into an issue. While it does work, it only gives you your first receive address, making the rest of your BTC on other receive addresses completely inaccessible. Am I missing something here or is this how it works?

Say I'm worried about a card truly giving me a "random" phrase... and I've heard that if you modify a seed phrase it can decrease its entropy.

If I have my card generate say 4 seed phrases... and I the 3rd word from each then the 6th, then the 9th... etc til I hit 24 words total... have I decreased my entropy or since I'm pulling only based on 6 word numbers (chosen before so I can't subconsciously screw up the entropy) would I be just as secure and be able to get around the worries of "true randomness" in the generator???

I plan to use a seed phrase too but I'm just trying to be as safe as I can. I have a reset iPhone (SIM removed) that has only been online long enough to download the app and authenticate it... then went to a location without WiFi or other electronics to generate them. (Trying to prevent something seeing the displayed words as I write them down.)

Would my full entropy be intact??? Am I missing any steps to be sure I am as completely safe as possible?

[TheContrarianThinker]

I was under the impression that initiating a card reset meant you lost access to your assets, stored on the card.
So, if correct, how does it work if you are required to complete a card reset under certain conditions, without losing your crypto stored on that card?

[OriginalGacole]

Has this been tested, it may not be safe?
