+
+## Product Overview
+
+The wallets named above create the private key with the mnemonic words but without password.
+
+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.
