Wallet: Getting Started

The Almena Wallet is your personal identity application. It allows you to create and manage your decentralized identity (DID) on your own device.

Creating Your Account​

When you open the wallet for the first time, you will see the onboarding screen with two options:

  1. Create Account — Start fresh with a new identity.
  2. Recover Account — Restore an existing identity from a recovery phrase (coming soon).

Step 1: Choose "Create Account"​

Tap the primary button to begin the account creation process.

Step 2: Set Your Password​

You will be asked to create a secure password. The wallet validates your password in real time with the following rules:

  • Minimum 8 characters
  • At least one uppercase letter (A-Z)
  • At least one lowercase letter (a-z)
  • At least one digit (0-9)

Each rule shows a visual indicator as you type:

  • A checkmark appears when a rule is satisfied.
  • The confirm password field must match exactly.

You can toggle password visibility using the show/hide button on each field.

Step 3: Recovery Phrase​

Coming Soon

After setting your password, the wallet will generate a 12-word recovery phrase (BIP39 mnemonic). This phrase is the only way to recover your identity if you lose access to your device. Write it down and store it securely — it will never be shown again.

Technical Details​

  • The wallet runs as a native desktop application built with Tauri.
  • Your private keys are stored securely in your operating system's keychain (macOS Keychain, Windows Credential Store, or Linux Secret Service).
  • No data is sent to any server during account creation — everything happens locally on your device.
  • The interface is optimized for a mobile-first experience (390×844 viewport).
