Creating Secure Notes

Store Any Text Securely on Your Seedkeeper

Scan your Seedkeeper, tap Import a Secret → Free Data, give it a label, type in your data, then save it back to your device.

Overview​

Secure notes let you store any free-form text on your Seedkeeper - not just passwords. Recovery codes, PINs for other services, private information - anything you want to keep off the cloud.

One use worth highlighting: if you also use a cloud password manager, storing its master password here gives you an offline, hardware-backed copy of the one credential you cannot afford to forget - see Password Manager Explained.

Secure notes are also where non-BIP39 recovery material belongs. The Mnemonic Phrase option validates against the BIP39 checksum and rejects anything that fails, so an Electrum seed, a Monero 25-word phrase or a raw private key goes here instead - same secure element, same PIN, without the format check.

Step-by-Step Instructions​

Step 1: Launch the app and scan your Seedkeeper​

Open the Seedkeeper App and scan your card or ring, then enter your personal PIN.
See the First Setup Guide if you haven't set up your PIN yet.

Step 2: Start importing a secret​

Tap Import a Secret, then Free Data.

Step 3: Label your note​

Specify a label - this is what distinguishes this secret from all the others in your list.

Step 4: Enter your data​

Type in your raw data - any text you want to store.

Step 5: Save it to your device​

Tap Import, then scan your card or ring again to store the note.

Your secure note is now saved on your Seedkeeper.
