Are you new to IOTA and need to generate a SEED?

[jstillings1]

I created a IOTA seed generator for new IOTA users to generate their seeds. IOTA Seed Generator

[ThomasPepperz]

People can generate their own seeds on their terminal without having to trust third-party generators.

100% agree. using some random tool on GitHub to generate seed is bad practice and should be encouraged even though the code Is legit

[jstillings1]

No disrespect, but the wallet is just a random tool on git Hub.

Hey @DSNC , a seed is a 81-char string consisting only of uppercase latin letters and 9's which are used to access an account. You can imagine it as password for your IOTA wallet.

There are several ways to create a seed:

You make up 81 letters with one or more 9's and use that as seed.

You can also use a password manager such as KeePass to create 81 random letters with 9's through an algorithm. Advantage here: You can save them directly and securely.

Another possibility is the use of the new Trinity beta version. There you can also create and save a secure seed. https://blog.iota.org/trinity-mobile-beta-release-c47e8babdc28

If you want to learn more about creating seed, I recommend the following article: https://medium.com/iota-demystified/is-a-memorable-sentence-a-safe-iota-seed-14072528f608

Hi there,

thanks for your reply.

Please, could you advise if I can use the same password (seeds) from my Light Walle to Full node wallet? As I tried, and it doesn't accept my seeds from light wallet to the full node wallet.

Thanks and regards, DSNC

Hey @DSNC , seeds are always the same wherever you use them. And: Something like a seed is not accepted should not happen. Do you get an error message?

Hi there,

In my case this is a fact and my seeds for Light Node are not accepted when I use them for Full Node! To confirm I use the seeds to login to Light Node with no any problems, but when I want to switch to Full Node, does not accept my seeds! When I add all seeds it is shows "NBW" (after the seeds added, but when I push Login -- shows "NOT SYNCED" and return back to where I was before. Please advice where can be the problem?

Thanks and regards, DSNC
