title: How do I encrypt my wallet?
|
|
category: wallet
|
|

|
You can use `lbrycrd-cli encryptwallet <passphrase>` to encrypt your wallet.
|
|
|
|
You can use `lbrycrd-cli walletpassphrase <passphrase> <timeout>` to temporarily unlock the wallet. The <timeout> parameter is in seconds.
|
|
|
|
For example, `lbrycrd-cli walletpassphrase 'open sesame 321' 300` would unlock your wallet for five minutes, assuming your passphrase was `open sesame 321`. (In reality you should choose a harder-to-guess passphrase than that.)

|
|
If you set <timeout> too low, it might expire before you get done using your wallet. If you set it too high, you might forget that you left your wallet unlocked.
