Moving existing data in to PasswordWallet for Android

PasswordWallet for Android shares the exact same file format with PasswordWallet for macOS, Windows, and iOS. Wallet files with the suffix .passwordWallet4 may be moved to PasswordWallet for Android by doing the following:

1. Be sure you have PW installed on your device and you've launched it at least once.
2. Locate your .passwordWallet4 file on your computer or device. In iOS, this will be in "Manage Wallets". On your computer, the wallet documents will be saved on your hard drive.
3. E-mail the file to your android device as an attachment.
4. Check e-mail on your android device.
5. Tap the attachment on the Android device. (Some 3rd party e-mail apps on Android don't do this correctly. If you get an error when tapping the attachment, you will have to use an 'authentic' e-mail app for this to work properly.)
6. Run PasswordWallet (PW) on your Android and open it within 'Manage Wallets'.

Backing up your data

Backup and restore of your data on Android works through e-mail. Push the "Backup" button on the main screen of PasswordWallet for Android to e-mail your wallet file to another computer.
