Does D’CENT support a 25th word (Passphrase)? What is a 25th word?

D’CENT Biometric Wallet supports the 25th word (Passphrase) feature.

The 25th Word (Passphrase) is an advanced security feature that adds one extra user-defined word to your existing 24 recovery words.

This creates a completely new private key that is independent of your original one.

 

[How the 25th Word Feature Works]

  • The 25th word can be a combination of numbers or alphabets, up to 8 characters.
  • If this feature is enabled, entering only the 24 recovery words will not be enough to restore the wallet.
  • You must enter the 25th word in addition to the 24 recovery words to successfully recover.
  • For instructions on how to set the 25th word, please refer to the user guide at the bottom of this article.

 

[Important Notes]

  • If you add a 25th word to an already active wallet, your existing private key will be completely replaced, and previously stored assets will no longer be visible.
  • To view your original assets again, reset the wallet and recover using only the original 24 recovery words.
  • Therefore, if there are assets in the wallet, you must transfer all assets to another secure address before setting a 25th word.
  • Once the 25th word is set, the wallet cannot be restored with only the 24 recovery words.
  • You must input 24 recovery words + 25th word to recover the wallet.

 

[How to Recover a Wallet Using the 25th Word]

  1. Recover the wallet with your 24 recovery words
  2. On the device, go to [Settings > Security > 25th Word]
  3. Enter the 24 recovery words in order for verification
  4. After successful verification, input your previously set 25th word
  5. Recovery is complete

 

[How to Check Whether a 25th Word Is Set]

To check whether you have set a 25th word, you can verify it using the following method.

  1. Select [Settings > Security > Seed Check > 25 word] in the Biometric Wallet.
  2. First, enter the 24 recovery words in order to proceed with the verification.
  3. Once the verification is complete, enter the 25th word that you remember.

 

🚨 This is an optional advanced feature. Use it only if you fully understand the security implications and risks.
