This guide will walk you through the process of securing a backup of your recovery phrase with the OneKey KeyTag.
What you need
OneKey KeyTag
Automatic punch tool
A completed recovery sheet from your OneKey hardware wallet
Securing your recovery phrase with OneKey Keytag
Step 1: Find the word
Open BIP39-Dotmap. (You can also find the BIP39 wordlist in the KeyTag Quick Start guide.)
Find the dot patterns that correspond with your recovery phrase (written on your completed recovery sheet).
Note: Dark dots indicate where you need to punch holes on the OneKey KeyTag plate.
Step 2: Punch the word
Center the automatic punch tool on the square's center and press down to create a hole.
Note:
Each row on the KeyTag corresponds to an individual word in your recovery phrase.
The numbering (e.g., "1, 2, 3,11, 12") displayed on the KeyTag indicates the specific order of recovery phrases.
Backup your recovery phrase to the "*" row when necessary.
