## Product Overview
|
||
|
|
As a user, I want to be able to create an account in Status, and open it in MyEtherWallet and MyCrypto.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To do this we should update the code that generates our extended keys to follow BIPs 39/32/44.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Product Description
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Steps
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Update the salt used to generate the seed from `status-im` to `mnemonic`, following `BIP39`.
|
||
|
|
2. Update the hmac key to `"Bitcoin seed"` following `BIP32`.
|
||
|
|
3. Check comments at https://github.com/status-im/status-go/blob/develop/extkeys/hdkey.go#L42.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After doing this, we should be able to import a Status account in MyEtherWallet and MyCrypto using the 12 mnemonic words and the passphrase.
|
||
|
