The Status app is currently in its beta stage. This means the application is still undergoing active development, and certain features described in this document may function differently or be unavailable within the app.
Currently, you can only use Keycard on the Status desktop app.
If you already have a crypto wallet account with another app like Metamask or Trust Wallet, it's possible to access and use it in Status Wallet and protect it with Keycard. The wallet account must be for Ether or other ERC-20 tokens.
To do so, you import the wallet account onto your Keycard by entering the recovery phrase.
Your wallet account lives on the Ethereum blockchain. You can access it from many wallet apps, including Status. Adding your account to Status doesn't remove it from other wallets you use.
If you want to use your Keycard with your Status profile or Wallet, check out Secure your Status profile or Wallet with Keycard.
- You can still access and use the wallet account in the app where you have been using it.
- Your Keycard must be empty. If it's not new, view the wallet accounts on your Keycard and factory reset it when needed.
- After importing the wallet account, you must use the Keycard in Status to confirm transactions for this wallet account. You can always stop using Keycard for this wallet account.
