Secure Your Recovery Phrase
Konstantin Gladych, CEO
"The single most important security step is to protect your 12-word phrase. Write it down on paper and store it in multiple secure, offline locations. Never store it digitally or share it. If you have a lost Atomic Wallet recovery phrase, access is gone forever. This phrase is the master key to your funds."

Understand Private Keys
Irina Plashurova, Marketing Lead
"While you can export private keys from Atomic Wallet, you rarely need to. Your 12-word phrase manages all keys. Only export a specific key if you need to sweep it into another wallet, like when you import Trust Wallet to Atomic Wallet. Handle keys with the same care as your seed phrase."

Expert Opinions & Analysis
What blockchain professionals say about wallet security.
Dr. Julianne Sterling
Cybersecurity Analyst
"The fundamental principle of self-custody is non-negotiable for any serious crypto user. Tools like Atomic Wallet, which encrypt private keys on the user's device, are the gold standard. The ability to view and backup your Atomic Wallet backup phrase empowers users, but it also places responsibility on them. Educating users on how to protect that phrase is the most critical challenge we face in this industry."
Marcus Thorne
DeFi Strategist
"Interoperability is key. A user's ability to import Metamask to Atomic Wallet or sweep a private key from another source is not just a feature; it's a statement of freedom. It prevents vendor lock-in and allows users to navigate the DeFi space fluidly. When you recover an Atomic Wallet, you're not just restoring assets; you're restoring access to a decentralized world."
Anya Chen
Blockchain Developer
"From a technical standpoint, the implementation of BIP39 for seed phrases is crucial. When a user needs to perform an Atomic Wallet recovery from seed, they're relying on a battle-tested industry standard. This ensures that even if the wallet software itself disappeared, their assets could be recovered elsewhere. This is the true essence of decentralization."
Liam West
Crypto Journalist
"I often deal with users who forgot their Atomic Wallet password. The first thing I tell them is that the password only protects the device. The 12-word phrase is the real recovery tool. Understanding this distinction is vital. A good password prevents unauthorized local access, but the seed phrase is your ultimate lifeline if a device is lost or you're locked out."
Elena Petrova
UX in FinTech Specialist
"The user journey for wallet setup and recovery must be flawless. Guiding a user to the Atomic Wallet seed phrase location during setup and emphasizing its importance is a design challenge. The app must make it clear that this isn't just another password. It's a permanent, unchangeable key to their financial sovereignty. Simplicity in this process builds trust and security."
Raj Singh
Venture Capitalist
"We invest in infrastructure that empowers users. The non-custodial model is the future. When I see robust features like 'export private keys from Atomic Wallet' or 'import from seed phrase', I see a commitment to user control. This builds a resilient ecosystem where users are not dependent on a single company, which is a powerful investment thesis for the long term."

Chloe B.
"As a beginner, the Atomic Wallet setup was incredibly easy. The interface is intuitive, and I didn't feel overwhelmed. I downloaded the Atomic Wallet APK for my de-Googled phone, and it works perfectly. It's the best wallet I've tried for its simplicity and power."
James R.
"I needed to import an old paper wallet and the 'sweep private key' function in Atomic Wallet was perfect. It found the funds and added them to my balance in seconds. Being able to import a wallet with just a private key is a powerful feature for old-school crypto holders."
The Story Behind Atomic Wallet
Atomic Wallet was founded in 2017 by Konstantin Gladych, a prominent figure in the cryptocurrency space and the co-founder of Changelly. The vision was clear from the start: to create a secure, decentralized, and user-friendly platform that empowers individuals to take full control of their digital assets. The name "Atomic" was inspired by Atomic Swaps, a revolutionary cross-chain exchange technology that allows for the direct exchange of cryptocurrencies between users without the need for a trusted third party. This principle of decentralization became the cornerstone of the wallet's philosophy.
The early days were focused on building a robust security architecture and integrating a wide array of cryptocurrencies. Unlike custodial services that hold users' keys, the team was adamant that users must be the sole custodians of their funds. This led to the core design where the 12-word backup phrase and private keys are encrypted and stored exclusively on the user's device. The team launched its first desktop applications, providing a one-stop solution for managing a diverse portfolio, which was a significant step forward at a time when users often had to juggle multiple single-currency wallets.
As the crypto ecosystem grew, so did Atomic Wallet. The introduction of the mobile apps for iOS and Android brought crypto management to users' fingertips, while features like in-app staking, a fiat-to-crypto gateway, and an ever-expanding list of supported assets solidified its position as a leading multi-currency wallet. Today, Atomic Wallet continues to evolve, driven by community feedback and a steadfast commitment to its founding principles of security, decentralization, and accessibility for everyone, from beginners to seasoned crypto veterans.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Find answers to common questions about Atomic Wallet.
How do I perform an Atomic Wallet login? ▼
To log in or unlock Atomic Wallet, simply open the application on your desktop or mobile device and enter the password you created during setup. This password decrypts your wallet file locally on your device. It is not stored on any servers.
I forgot my Atomic Wallet password. How can I recover it? ▼
You cannot recover a forgotten password. However, you don't need to. The password is only for device access. You can uninstall the app, reinstall it, and choose the "Restore from backup" option. You will then need your 12-word recovery phrase to regain full access to your funds.
Where can I find my Atomic Wallet 12-word phrase? ▼
Your 12-word phrase was shown to you once during the initial wallet setup. For security reasons, the app requires you to write it down. If your wallet is currently unlocked, you can view your Atomic Wallet backup phrase in the settings menu under "Private Keys" or "Backup".
What should I do if my Atomic Wallet sign in is not working? ▼
First, ensure you are typing the correct password (it's case-sensitive). If it still fails, check for app updates. If issues persist, the most reliable solution is to restore Atomic Wallet from your 12-word seed phrase on a fresh installation.
How do I view private keys in Atomic Wallet for a specific coin? ▼
Navigate to Settings -> Private Keys. After entering your password, the wallet will display a list of your assets. You can click on any coin or token to show its private key and address. Be extremely cautious when handling this information.
Can I import a wallet from another service like Metamask or Trust Wallet? ▼
Yes. You can import an existing wallet by using its 12-word seed phrase. When you first launch Atomic Wallet, choose the "Restore from backup" option and enter the seed phrase from your other wallet. This will import all compatible assets.
Is it safe to download the Atomic Wallet APK? ▼
It is only safe if you download it directly from the official Atomic Wallet website. Never download the APK from third-party app stores or websites, as they may contain malware designed to steal your recovery phrase and funds.
What's the difference between a password and a recovery phrase? ▼
Your password is a local security measure to lock/unlock the app on your specific device. Your 12-word recovery phrase is the master key to all your private keys and funds. If you lose your device, you need the phrase to recover your wallet. If you lose your phrase, your funds are lost forever.
How does the Atomic Wallet recovery from seed work? ▼
The recovery process uses your 12-word seed phrase to mathematically regenerate all the private keys for every cryptocurrency you hold. It follows the BIP39 industry standard, ensuring that your keys are derived in a predictable and secure manner, giving you access to your portfolio.
My Atomic Wallet is locked, how do I unlock it? ▼
To unlock the wallet, you must enter the password you created. If you have forgotten the password, you cannot unlock it. You must use the "Restore from backup" feature with your 12-word recovery phrase, which will effectively create a new, unlocked wallet with a new password.
How to export private keys from Atomic Wallet? ▼
In the settings of the wallet, find the "Private Keys" section. You will be prompted for your password. Once entered, you can see all your assets and their corresponding private keys, which you can then copy. Handle these keys with extreme care.
Can I use Atomic Wallet on Linux? ▼
Yes, Atomic Wallet provides a dedicated desktop app for various Linux distributions, including Ubuntu, Debian, and Fedora. You can find the correct download file on the official website's download page.
What is the "sweep private key" function? ▼
This feature allows you to import funds from a single external private key (like a paper wallet). The wallet "sweeps" the entire balance from that key's address and sends it to one of the addresses managed by your Atomic Wallet's seed phrase.
Is Atomic Wallet authorization secure? ▼
Yes. All authorization is handled locally on your device. Your password and private keys are never transmitted over the internet or stored on Atomic Wallet's servers, providing a high level of security against remote attacks.
How do I download the Atomic Wallet for Windows? ▼
Visit the official Atomic Wallet website, go to the "Downloads" page, and select the installer for Windows. Download the file and run the installer, following the on-screen instructions for a complete Atomic Wallet setup.
What if I lost my Atomic Wallet recovery phrase? ▼
If you lose your recovery phrase, there is absolutely no way to recover your funds if you also lose access to your device. Atomic Wallet staff cannot help you. Your 12-word phrase is your sole responsibility. This is why it's critical to store it securely.
Does the Atomic Wallet mobile app have the same features as desktop? ▼
The Atomic Wallet iOS and Android apps offer nearly all the core functionalities of the desktop versions, including sending, receiving, exchanging, staking, and managing your portfolio. The user interface is optimized for a mobile experience.
How do I add an existing wallet to Atomic Wallet? ▼
To add an existing wallet, you need its 12 or 24-word recovery phrase. During the Atomic Wallet install process, select "Restore from backup" and input the phrase. This will not create a new wallet but rather import the existing one.
How do I get the private key for a specific token? ▼
To get the private key for a token (e.g., an ERC-20 token), you need the private key of the parent blockchain address (e.g., Ethereum). You can find this in Settings -> Private Keys. The same Ethereum private key controls all ERC-20 tokens on that address.
Is my Atomic Wallet private key backup secure? ▼
The most secure backup is your 12-word phrase written on paper and stored offline. While you can export individual private keys, this is generally less secure as it increases exposure. Rely on your seed phrase as the primary and most secure form of backup.
