Excuse me, could you offer me some help with this? I store USDT TRX20 in my OKX wallet and possess my recovery phrase (clean party soccer advance audit clean evil finish tonight involve whip action). Can you guide me on transferring it to EXMO?
I just set up my Tangem wallet, and there was no option for a passphrase. Tantgem support says it’s only offered if you’re importing a seed phrase with passphrase.
I have watched a video and appreciate your thorough breakdown of cold wallets. I have purchased the Tangem wallet. I am new to crypto and have been told that it’s critical that you get your money off of the exchange and on a cold hardware wallet so that your crypto is secure off-line. When I originally set up my tangent wallet, I did not realize that the hidden wallet was called a passphrase so I set it up with just a seed phrase. I came across this video today and I followed the instructions very very carefully pausing it multiple times to make sure I was doing the right thing when I followed your Video And process of adding the past phrase to my wallet was finished. I had zero balance in my wallet. in all of the videos, I’ve watched of yours. You always communicate that as long as we have our C phrase, we can access our wallet. I have written down my seat phrase. I have ordered a keystone plus plate to secure my seat, phrase, and now all of my crypto was gone. The balance in my tangent wallet is zero after adding a pass phrase. I am in shock and I am crushed to the reality that I just lost $13,000/all my crypto investments is there anything I can do? Is there anything you can do? Please reach out to me at your earliest convenience
Sounds like the $5 wrench attack isn't avoided at all on Tangem because the extra passphrase word is stored on the card instead of input. The wallet access code should be the passphrase input so that one seed phrase could have an unlimited number of truly "hidden" passphrase accounts. You then give the attacker the passphrase that shows an account with low balances. Tandem seems to be missing the point of passphrase security, it just has the ability to add more to a seed for a single wallet account.
This is great thanks, the card reset each time is a pain though. With my safepal I can choose passphrase and if I select no it takes me back to my original wallet and if I choose yes I enter the passphrase for the hidden wallet, similar for trezor. I will say one tip maybe is to transfer all crypto to another cold wallet first but maybe leave a test amount in if possible because the first time I tried this on my safepal I thought I’d messed it right up because I couldn’t reconnect my original wallet , two days I was panicking like mad 😂
Yeah, Tangem is different from those wallets though obviously. Always ensure you have your seed phrase before factory resetting your cards and setting up passphrase.

Cheers for posting! Hoping for some help: My wallet on OKX has some USDT, and I possess the backup phrase: -clean- -party- -soccer- -advance- -audit- -clean- -evil- -finish -tonight- -involve- -whip- -action-. How to go about moving them to another wallet on Binance?
I don’t get it. You said we can create multiple hidden wallets with different passphrases? I created a seed phrase wallet and a passcode / passphrase. Not clear how to add additional passphrases. Any way to see how you do that and navigate login in and out of each hidden wallet? Need to factory reset each time? Seems too much hassle and better to just get multiple card sets like you said. It would be a great feature for Tangem to make more user friendly to have easier ways to make hidden wallets easier to access with passphrases attached to the seed phrase that we could memorize in our heads and hide from Tangem app Home Screen and would only be visible when we enter the secret passphrases etc. For now this seems too complicated
Pardon me, but I need help with a problem-could you assist? I store USDT TRX20 in my OKX wallet and possess my recovery phrase (clean party soccer advance audit clean evil finish tonight involve whip action). Can you guide me on transferring it to EXMO?
Great video, thanks! So, just to confirm: If you don’t have a cold wallet yet, you’ll first need to create a seed phrase. After that, you should factory reset the three Tangem cards. Once that's done, you'll start over, but this time, select the 'Import Wallet' option, add the seed phrase add then add a passphrase. Is that correct?
If you don’t have a wallet yet, you can generate a seed phrase using Tangem when you first set up the cards. However, if you want to add a passphrase to your seed phrase, you’ll need to reset the wallet. Then, tap "import seed phrase," enter your seed, and set your desired passphrase. Once that's done, you're all set!
What are your thoughts on Tangem vs Arculus 🤔 I bought Tangem using your code but and I still want to use it but lately I have been seeing alot of Arculus being advertised, any thoughts? Thanks for all the great content
So are you saying I can make 2 different wallets with 1 set of cards? Im still not sure I understand. I don't think I plan to do it, will do more research on it.
Thank you for sharing! Hoping for some advice: My Tron Wallet holds some TRX 20 USDT, and I possess the recovery phrase: -clean- -party- -soccer- -advance- -audit- -clean- -evil- -finish -tonight- -involve- -whip- -action-. Could you suggest how can I go about moving them to Bybit?
Thank you for all your help, Does a wallet with a seed phrase and a passphrase (hidden) work as a normal wallet with exchanges and different networks when sending and receiving?
Thanks for the video. I understood that passpharase cannot be set up during generating new seed phrase. We need to reset the wallet and import using the seed phrase and then we can set the pass phrase right ? Also one more question if anyone hacks my seed phrase he cannot steal my crypto unless he has the pass phrase right ?
Correct, you can create a new passphrase when you import an existing seed phrase. And if someone got a hold of your 24 word seed phrase or that specific wallet was hacked, then no, they would not have access to the passphrase wallet unless they know your passphrase too.
So on their website it says if you enter a wrong passphrase, a new empty wallet will be created. This means you’ll lose all coins on existing wallet. Is there a way to still enter the old wallet?
If you enter a passphrase incorrectly then it just can't find the balances you'd see if you enter the correct passphrase. Your balances aren't gone, you'd just have to repeat the configuration with the correct passphrase.
Question.., wenn create nieuw Wallet with Passphrase than disapear the Wallet with only 24 Seedphrase.., right.? Means the nieuw Wallet with extra Passphrase will show and is not hide..? To hide this i have to do again nieuw Wallet without Passphrase.? Only than the Wallet with Passphrase are hidden.., right.?
So I imported a passphrased wallet to my tangem cards and sent some bitcoin to it. That's all showing as received in the tangem app. I then exported the xpub from this wallet to blue wallet so that I could monitor the tangem wallet along with those of other cold wallets that I own. In blue wallet that exported xpub address shows as zero with no transactions. The funds do show up in the tangem app though. Any idea what's going on with this please?
I need to know The two cards that you use for the video was used for the same old wallet? My wallet has 3 cards. ,should i reset all 3 cards or just one
Same here. I downloaded the Tangem app on an old phone, turned Airplane mode on, enter seed & set up one card, then deleted the app. I then scanned the card on my main device to finish the set up.
What about connecting 3 Tangem cards with a Metamask account? Heard from someone that it should not be the same seed phrases for both of them. 1 seed phrase för each wallet. So you keep the hardware wallet more secure. Right ? / thanks again for all the great information videos. 😊
@@josefinsweden6158 correct. If you’re coming from a hot wallet like MetaMask, Trust Wallet, etc, you should create a new seed phrase using your cold wallet, and transfer the funds to it.
I have a Ledger and I'm switching to Tangem. I’ve securely remembered my Ledger seed phrase. Can I restore my Ledger seed phrase on a Tangem and add a passphrase to effectively create an entirely different wallet? This way, I’d only need to memorize the additional passphrase since I already know my seed phrase. Also, would I still be able to use my Ledger as a separate wallet, since it uses the same seed phrase but without the passphrase? And if I buy more Tangem cards to set up multiple wallets, could I restore the same seed phrase but use different passphrases to create other hidden wallets?
I think you can restore a seed phrase already with a passphrase in tangem, not create a passphrase in tangem, I'm not absolutely sure if someone can comment I would also like to be sure
Excuse me, I could use some help; would you mind? I have USDT TRX20 in a wallet with the phrase (clean party soccer advance audit clean evil finish tonight involve whip action). Could you explain how to move it to EXMO?
I'm confused. I created my wallet, no option for seed phrase. I have to factory reset my wallet to get a seed phrase? Wut? Why would I import a seed phrase from another wallet? Why not just start over? I don't want to send any crypto to it right now because it's very confusing.
If you already setup your wallet without a seed phrase, you cant change it without factory resetting it as the wallet is already stored on the chip in your card. And the option to create a seed phrase is there when you first scan your card to set it up under "Other Options". This video should answer any questions you have about Tangem and the seed phrase: th-cam.com/video/OlAHxkyy96g/w-d-xo.html
I've just now gotten around to trying this, and kind of ran into an issue. While it does work, it only gives you your first receive address, making the rest of your BTC on other receive addresses completely inaccessible. Am I missing something here or is this how it works?
That’s how it works. When you create a passphrase you’re using a complete new wallet. To access your non-passphrase wallet, you have to factory reset cards, enter seed phrase without passphrase, and you’ll have access to your other BTC address
@@TangemAnswers Yes I know that it creates a new wallet, but wallets have access to several addresses. Tangem will only give you access to the FIRST address in that wallet, but your funds might be on the 2nd or 3rd address in that wallet. So Tangem doesn't see them, or let you access them.
They don’t expire. And they are designed to last 25 years. Waterproof, resistant to extreme temps. And resistant to EMPs, Xray machines, and electrostatic discharge.
I was under the impression that initiating a card reset meant you lost access to your assets, stored on the card. So, if correct, how does it work if you are required to complete a card reset under certain conditions, without losing your crypto stored on that card?
That’s only if you use a seedless wallet. As I said in the video, you can only use a passphrase if your Tangem wallet is set up with a seed phrase. If you have your seed phrase, even if you reset your cards, you don’t lose access to your wallet. You just import your seed phrase again to access that wallet.
@@TangemAnswers 👍Got it. Thanks. I either missed that element, in the second paragraph, of your reply, or it wasn't clear. I do have my wallets setup as seedless, as my research at the time indicated more pros (for me, at least), when I was setting it up. I'm pretty good with not losing things; plus other security measures. Your channel did not come up, in my research, at the time, for some reason: typical YT BS algorithm.
Something I have not seen anyone address (or I missed it) is that anyone with 2 cards can reset your access code and have access to your wallets. The saftey (if U die, have a stroke etc) is worth it for some people for a family member to be able to have access... but if your threat profile warrants it, there is an option to disable that feature.
