什么是私钥、助记词和钱包密码

Private key When dealing with cryptocurrency, a user is usually given a public address and a private key to send and receive coins or tokens. The public address is where the funds are deposited and received. But even though a user has tokens deposited into their address, they won’t be able to withdraw them without the unique private key.

The private key can take a few different forms, usually depicted as a series of alphanumeric characters, which makes it hard for a hacker to crack. Most users represent their wallet keys in wallet import format, which has 51 characters. Think of a public address as a mailbox, and the private key as the key to the box.

On any wallet, by importing the private key and setting a new password you can import the assets from the previous A wallet into the B wallet. For example, if a mobile phone is lost, the assets can be recovered by simply importing the private key.

Mnemonic Because the private key is composed of 64-bit hexadecimal, which is inconvenient to record and copy. For users' convenience, mnemonic was generated. It is simplified into a mnemonic consisting of 12 words, with a space between each word. The mnemonic and private key have the same function, that is, you can import the wallet by entering the mnemonic and setting a new password. Like the private key, a wallet has one set of mnemonics and cannot be modified.

Anybody else who discovers the phrase can steal the cryptos, so it must be kept safe like jewels or cash. For example, no one should ask you for it on social networks or messenger, it must not be typed into any website.

钱包密码 在 NSK Token创建钱包时，需要设置至少 8 个字符的密码。钱包密码用于管理钱包，例如转移资金，在导入带有私钥/关键字的钱包时必须输入。密码可以更改或重置。如果忘记了原密码，可以用私钥或助记词导入钱包并设置新密码。

可以用银行账户进行类比来区分它们。

私钥=银行卡号+银行卡密码

助记符=银行卡号+卡密码

密码=银行卡密码
