# Use Cypherock as a seed phrase vault

Cypherock X1 can secure 4 wallets, each with a separate seed phrase and the option to use different PINs. For example, if you have a software wallet and a hardware wallet, you can import the seed phrases for both existing wallets into Cypherock X1 and use it as a seed phrase vault.

{% step %}

### Create Wallet

Plug in the Cypherock X1 Vault to your computer and choose the “Create Wallet” option on the X1 Vault.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Restore from Seed Phrase

Right-click on the joystick to navigate to the “Restore From Seedphrase” option.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Create a name for your wallet

Set a name for your wallet. This name will also reflect on CySync once you have synced the wallet with CySync.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Set up a PIN

You will be prompted with an option to set the PIN. For the utmost security, it is best to set a PIN.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you forget your PIN, you will never be able to access the wallet. It is better to back up the PIN somewhere in case you feel you might forget it later. Even if the PIN is exposed, an attacker will still need physical access to 2 physical components.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Choose the length of your seed phrase

Depending on the wallet that you are securing with Cypherock, you may have a 12-, 18-, or 24-word seed phrase. You will have the option of choosing the length of the seed phrase to input into the X1 Vault.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Add your seed phrase

Depending on how long your seed phrase is, you will have to input your seed phrase into the X1 device. You will be prompted with the initial two letters of the word, after which you can select the word.

BIP39 uses a standard set of words that allow you to generate seed phrases. Please read [here](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039/english.txt) for the full list of words in the BIP39 standard.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Verify your seed phrase

You will be prompted by the X1 device to verify your seed phrase. Please ensure that the selected words are accurate to your current seed phrase backup and are in order.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Tap X1 cards to sync your wallet

Ensure that you have all 4 X1 cards available to complete the wallet setup. After verifying that your seed phrase is accurate, tap all 4 X1 cards with your X1 device.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Destroy your seed phrase backup

Once you have verified that the wallet has been secured by Cypherock X1, you may now destroy your current seed phrase backup.

If you want to view your seed phrase in the future, you can do so from the wallet menu within the device under the “View Seed” section.
