Crypto Academy Week 2 Homework Post for [sapwood] by @vvarishayy
How do I download & install a wallet? Examples(Hint- Etherum, Tron, etc or any other you wish to)? How do I restore a wallet using a Private key/Mnemonic key/Keystore file? How important is the Mnemonic key or Private Key or Keystore File during the installation/restoration of a wallet? How do you store/secure your keys? Examples? Any Blockchain wallet you have used before, having the experience of any/all the three forms of keys-- Private/Mnemonic/Keystore file?
For this task I'm choosing Tronlink pro. Because of #steemit I'm a bit familiar with tronlink.
That ain't a difficult job. Let me explain in detail.
If you want to access it in your phone, you can easily search it in your play store.
If you want to add extension in your chrome you can easily access it too. And Tronlink pro is available for both iOS and Android users.
Here's the main official website of TRONLINK PRO
Once you are done with installation Tronlink pro. And you want to import your wallet now. Now when you open the app this interface will appear
You want to import an account so click on import account button and an interface of user privacy agreement will appear. Read the privacy policy and proceed by clicking accept button.
After accepting, this interface will open and you can select any option of your choice. You can easily login with private key, mnemonic keys, and keystore.
When you click to the mnemonic keys. Tronlink pro will give you two options. Like this, select one and enter the keys. Pay attention to the sequence of the words. And tada you have restored your wallet.
You should know the real importance of Mnemonic key or Private Key or Keystore keys. It's so important because without it you can lose your account.
Me too had faced this problem. My Tron account was automatically changed in steemit wallet and all my Tron are vanish now because I didn't created that account neither I've the keys for that. No keys means no access.
You should safe it somewhere offline too. Copy down the keys in a paper and keep it somewhere safe and I've copied it on many papers and saved it so I can access it.
I've made a PDF of all passwords of wallet on my pc and stored it.
I've given my passwords to my father too because I know my father can take care of it better than I can do.
Honestly speaking, I've no experience regarding any blockchain-based wallets. I'm using Tronlink pro first time after the integration of Tron with steemit.
Great read.

Break it into 3/4 parts, laminate it to make it durable.
If you are using the Keystore file to recover then you have are to enter the password (set by you in the previous installation). If you are using Mnemonic key or Private Key then you don't need a password to restore a wallet.
Keystore File+Password(set by you) ~ Private Key
