In Web3, private key mnemonics are very important.

AI-generated summary
This account is a reincarnation of AcoFork due to the loss of the original account's private key mnemonic. The account will continue to update with new content, but will not replicate existing posts. Private key mnemonics are essential for logging into xLog, functioning like a traditional username and password, but they cannot be changed or recovered if lost. To securely store your private key mnemonic, it's best to memorize it or write it down in a safe place, avoiding online storage due to security risks. Ensure the storage location is discreet and stable, but don't be overly secretive, as excessive encryption can hinder access. To view your mnemonic, use wallet management tools like MetaMask. In summary, if you want to manage an xLog account effectively, safeguard your private key mnemonic, as it uniquely identifies you in Web3.

This is not a new xLog account; it is a reincarnated account of AcoFork (because the private key mnemonic of the original account was lost TAT#

  • This account will continue to update new content in the future. If I think certain blog posts are very important or need major revisions, I will publish them on this account, but I will absolutely not copy existing blog posts from the original account.

What is a private key mnemonic?#

  • xLog uses a wallet account for login, and when you create a wallet account, it will display the private key mnemonic.
  • It is equivalent to a traditional account + password, but it cannot be changed, cannot be recovered; once lost, you will permanently lose access to the account.

How should I properly save my private key mnemonic?#

  • The best way is to memorize it; no one knows what is in your head (I can't do it).
  • Or try writing it down and keeping it in a secret corner, and remember to regularly check and maintain it (including paper aging, security of the location, etc.).
  • It is best to not store it on the internet; regardless of whether your hosting provider uses end-to-end encryption, it is unsafe (but I have it in Xiaomi Cloud Album).
  • Please ensure that the location you store it is secret and does not undergo frequent destructive changes (for example, if you store it on your computer's C drive and then forget to reinstall the system one day, it is very likely that it cannot be recovered).
  • But also do not overly keep it secret; sometimes, encryption often defends against oneself rather than hackers who want to steal your private key mnemonic.

Where should I check my private key mnemonic?#

  • I use MetaMask to manage my wallet.
  • Go to the settings page, find the security related options, look for words like show mnemonic and click.

Finally#

  • If you want to properly manage an xLog account, please keep your private key mnemonic safe. In Web3, only that seemingly meaningless chain of words can mark your identity; once lost, it will be like me (laughs).
