Learn the simple steps to find your private key for any wallet in your Best Wallet app. You can use your private key to securely back up your wallets, as well as transfer your wallets from one device to another.

A private key is much like your crypto wallet’s unique password — a string of randomly generated letters and numbers that allows you to access and manage your crypto funds.

If you buy, hold, or receive crypto in your Best Wallet, that transaction will be connected to your Best Wallet’s private key. Additionally, every time you swap or send your crypto, Best Wallet will use your private key to authorise your transaction.

Your private key will look something like this:

A useful way to think of your private key is as the key to your crypto vault and, therefore, should be handled carefully and securely to keep your digital assets safe.

To find your Best Wallet's private keys, you can either watch our video tutorial or follow the steps below!

In the Best Wallet app, click the Settings icon on the navigation bar.

Go to Manage Wallets, which will bring you to the list of your existing wallets.

Here, you can access your Main Wallet, as well as any Created Wallets and Imported Wallets. Select the wallet you want to find your private key.

Next, tap "Private Keys".

It is important to exercise caution when handling your wallet’s private keys – treat your private keys like the password to your online banking app.

We recommend physically backing up your private key by writing it down or printing it.

There will be an in-app warning around your Best Wallet’s private key – please read it carefully before moving to the next stage.

Once you hit “Continue”, you will have to use your passcode or biometrics to unlock your private key, ensuring that even if someone finds your device unlocked and your wallet open, they won’t access your private keys.

Now you can see your private keys; you will also have the option to copy to your clipboard. This way you can ensure you get an entirely accurate copy for safe storage.

Once copied to your clipboard, you can then return to your Manage Wallet page.

Note: Best Wallet does not recommend storing your private keys on your device in a screenshot or copied into your device's notes.

You have successfully found your Best Wallet’s private key, which can help secure and recover your funds, keeping you in complete custody of your crypto assets!

You should store copies of your Best Wallet’s private keys somewhere secure and offline.

The most common ways of safely storing your private key are:

Remember: No one from Best Wallet will ever ask for your wallet's private keys. Never share your private keys with anyone, even with people you trust.

You should be able to find and back up your private keys in Best Wallet by following the steps above.
