Watch keys through ctrl+J

New page

'''Watch keys''' or xpubs are useful to display your balance in case of Bisq wallet corruption '''without exposing private keys''' to an external wallet estimated by the Bisq [[wallet]].
Watch keys are displayed by pressing '''ctrl+j''', together with a list of addresses and total balance. Use the <code>copy to clipboard</code> button and paste the text into a text editor to search for <code>zpub</code>, <code>xpub</code> or simply <code>watch</code>. Zpub is used to watch segwit (P2WPKH) addresses, and P2PKH or zpub is for legacy and BSQ addresses.

{{Admonition_Note|'''Don't import private keys to an external wallet.''' In case of emergency, is better to import private keys to a new Bisq instance at ''Accounts > Wallet Seed - Restore wallet from seed''. Importing seeds to an external wallet should be used only if this method fails."}}

=== Importing watch key to external wallet. ===

Import the watch keys one by one to [http://electrum.org/ Electrum] or [https://samouraiwallet.com/sentinel Sentinel] to display your balance safely.
At Electrum, create a new <code>Standard wallet</code> through <code>Use Master Key</code> and paste the xpub or zpub, which is a string similar to ''xpub6CUGRUonZSQ4TWtTMmzXdrXDtypWKiKrhko4egpiMZbpiaQL2jkwSB1icqYh2cfDfVxdx4df189oLKnC5fSwqPfgyP3hooxujYzAu3fDVmz''.
Similar steps are required for Sentinel.
