We use your SN wallet passphrase (which is stored in the browser) to encrypt your Spark mnemonic and store it on the server. So if you have your passphrase (and we haven’t deleted your encrypted mnemonic), you don’t need to separately store your Spark mnemonic. Although it doesn’t hurt to store it - and you can load it into other Spark wallets and use it with SN simultaneously.

  • Does that mean you can decrypt our Spark mnemonic too?
  • Can we recover our SN Spark wallet funds with the mnemonic if SN disappears?

No! We don’t have your wallet passphrase. That’s why you have to input it on everyone of your devices.

  • Can we recover our SN Spark wallet funds with the mnemonic if SN disappears?

Yes, assuming Spark doesn’t also disappear.

I guess I was confused by this:

So if you have your passphrase (and we haven’t deleted your encrypted mnemonic), you don’t need to separately store your Spark mnemonic

So, what you mean is that if we have our SN passphrase and we forgot our Spark mnemonic, we can still operate our Spark Wallet on SN, including withdrawing funds.

However, if we lose the Spark mnemonic and somehow SN goes down, then we won't be able to recover those Spark wallet funds, correct?
