Sphere 2.2 - Wallets
Within Sphere, you can create multiple wallets. Each wallet can carry a name, as well as an optional password, according to your requirements.
You can create multiple addresses within each wallet. Addresses can be transparent or private. Private addresses require Full Mode which will be addressed in a later page.

Verify Your Backup Phrase
Are you confident that you have your Account Name and Password recorded? If so, now is the time to test that you have accurately recorded your "Backup Phrase." You can prove this by logging out of this account and creating another Account and Restoring a Wallet by typing in your "Backup Phrase."
See Figure 8.
Compare the first address in the Restored Wallet to the first address in your first wallet. If they are the same then you know that you have an accurate transcription of your "Backup Phrase."
Your "Backup Phrase" must be entered exactly in the Restore process. Any variation in spelling, capitalization, spacing, etc. will create a new set of addresses. This is why the verification of the "Backup Phrase" is so important.
See Figure Figure 9.
If the address created by your Restored wallet using the "Backup Phrase" is the same as the address created by your wallet in the other Account, then you are assured that your "Backup Phrase" has been reliably recorded and that you can properly type it into the Restore Wallet function.
