Using Trinity Wallet with Keepass2Android Password Manager

For security reasons, we don’t allow your IOTA seeds to be saved into the device clipboard on Android. So, to use password managers with Trinity to easily manage your seeds we have come up with a custom-built function that allows your seed to be safely transferred from the wallet to the password manager, and vice-versa.

Unfortunately, Keepass2Android is the only supported password manager for the time being.

This manual will guide you through on how to use Trinity Wallet with Keepass2Android easily and safely.

How to export your seed to Keepass2Android

1. If you haven’t already, install Keepass2Android. You can get it on Google Play Store. After downloading the app, you will need to create a Keepass database. You can read more about Keepass2Android, including how to make a new database, on here.
