The BitBoxApp allows you to easily create additional accounts. This can be useful in order to separate coins for different purposes. For example, you could have a private, work & child account. Each of these accounts has its own receive addresses, transaction history & extended public key.
The wallet backup is identical for all accounts, meaning that you don't need to create a new backup when you create a new account; the new account is already included in your wallet backup that you created when you set up your BitBox02.
In order to create additional accounts:
- Unlock your BitBox02
- Go to "Settings" in the BitBoxApp
- Select "Manage accounts"
- Click "Add account"
- Select the coin for which you want to create an account
- Give the account a name e.g. "Savings"
- Click "Add account"
The new account will now show up in the BitBoxApp sidebar. Done!
