# Using the smartcard wallet |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Requirements |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* A USB smartcard reader |
||||||
|
* A keycard that supports the status app |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Usage |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Start `geth` with the `console` command |
||||||
|
2. Check the card's URL by checking `personal.listWallets`: |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
``` |
||||||
|
listWallets: [{ |
||||||
|
status: "Online, can derive public keys", |
||||||
|
url: "pcsc://a4d73015" |
||||||
|
}] |
||||||
|
``` |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3. Open the wallet, you will be prompted for your pairing password, then PIN: |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
``` |
||||||
|
personal.openWallet("pcsc://a4d73015") |
||||||
|
``` |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
4. Check that creation was successful by typing e.g. `personal`. Then use it like a regular wallet. |
