 .. dropdown:: Why was the |bw| made?
 
-    The |bw| was created as a tool for developers to connect `dApps <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decentralized_application>`__ to the Concordium blockchain and interact with it, and for users who are using dApps. It provides a simplified interface for users and introduces a :term:`secret recovery phrase`, which simplifies any restoration of an account should you lose access to the phone/app. Also, this version supports easy portability of accounts between this and the |mw-gen2|.

 .. dropdown:: What are the features and benefits of the |bw|?
 
-    Some of the functionality is the same as other Concordium wallets in that you can still send and receive funds. But the |bw| uses a :term:`secret recovery phrase` that allows you to recover your wallet should you need to replace your device. That same secret recovery phrase will also allow you to recover the wallet on, for example, |mw-gen2|.

That same seed phrase phrase will also allow you to recover the wallet on, for example, |mw-gen2|.
 
     In |bw| initial accounts are no longer created by the :term:`identity provider` when your identity is verified, ensuring complete privacy of all your accounts. Going forward you :ref:`create all accounts yourself<create-account>` in your Concordium Wallet.

+.. dropdown:: What is a seed phrase?
 
-    A :term:`secret recovery phrase` is a “master key” that unlocks all of your Concordium accounts. When entered into the wallet in the correct order, the 24 words in the recovery phrase will recover all of the private keys you were storing on your original wallet and give access to all :term:`CCDs<CCD>` in the wallet. This means that even if you lose your physical hardware device, you’ll still have access to your blockchain assets. Secret recovery phrases are sometimes referred to as seed phrases, mnemonic phrases, mnemonic seeds and backup phrases.

     No, the |bw| extension is only supported in a web browser running on a computer.
 
 .. dropdown:: Do I still need to make backups of my wallet?

     No. Because the way that keys are protected differs between the old and new wallets you cannot simply migrate. If you use the |mw-gen1| or Desktop Wallet but want to use the |bw|, you should do the following:
 
-    #. Download the |bw| and set it up so you have a :term:`secret recovery phrase`, a verified identity, and at least one account.

+.. dropdown:: Can I access my wallet on multiple devices with the seed phrase?
 
     Yes, you can access your wallet concurrently using |cryptox| and |bw|. You can :ref:`recover<backup-import-recover>` your wallet in a device that uses either of these. Be aware that any names you have given to identities and accounts are **specific to the device**, so if you have used special names for them, they will not appear when you recover the wallet on another device. You can edit the account name and edit the identity name, if desired.
 
-    It is also important to note that if, for example, you add an account on one wallet that is recovered on two devices in parallel (from the same recovery phrase), nothing is dynamically updated across wallets from the same recovery phrase except balances. To get updates such as a new account or new identity, it is necessary to :ref:`recover<backup-import-recover>` from your recovery phrase again; however you do not need to enter the recovery phrase again as the wallet will remember it.

-    Reusing a :term:`secret recovery phrase` in multiple wallets is not recommended, as it increases the risk of having all your wallets compromised. Concordium recommends that you generate a new secret recovery phrase when setting up a new wallet on Concordium. For advanced users who understand the risks involved it is possible to reuse a 24 word recovery phase from another wallet with Concordium through the wallet recovery process. The wallet will not recover anything if you reuse your secret recovery phrase from another wallet, but it will set your wallet up with the secret recovery phrase, and from there you can request a new identity and accounts.
