## Product Overview
The wallets named above create the private key with the mnemonic words but without password.
2018-04-09 14:02:52 +00:00
In those wallets, the password is only used to lock the account and encrypt the private key, and it's not needed to recover it.
In Status, the same password is used to generate the account and to recover it,
so a user cannot recover a wallet created with the 12 words but without password.
To be compatible with those wallets, we should create and recover wallets without password,
and use the passoword only to lock the account on the phone.
