# Ethereum Wallet Ðapp

The Ethereum Wallet Dapp -- "Wallet" -- is a dapp originally intended for use within the now-deprecated Mist Browser. There is also a web-hosted version on [https://wallet.ethereum.org](https://wallet.ethereum.org). This edition has been hosted in this way for a number of years, mainly to enable users who created multisig wallets to continue to be able to manage them.

## About those Ethereum keys...
### Ethereum Keys

Mist and Ethereum Dapp Wallet make use of geth-style encrypted Ethereum keys. You may have generated them in Mist, MEW, MyCrypto, or even geth, but they must be present in order to access your accounts and multisigs w/ the web-hosted Ethereum Dapp Wallet.
Mist and Ethereum Dapp Wallet make use of encrypted Ethereum keys. You may have generated them w/ a password in Mist, MEW, MyCrypto, or even geth itself, but they must be present in order to access your accounts and multisigs in the web-hosted Ethereum Dapp Wallet.

When you use the Wallet w/ geth, your keys are accessed by geth. Think of geth as your gateway to Ethereum mainnet, and Wallet -- even though it is in your browser -- is using geth to interact with your keys.

Keep them secret. Keep them safe.
Understand where your keys are on your local disk, and back them up. Keep them secret! Keep them safe!
