# User accounts

Qwallet manages user funds based on accounts. An account is simple a seed associated with a password. The seed is encrypted with the password and saved to a filename based on the hash of the password.

The user can have a seed generated for them automatically simply by trying to login with a password for the first time. If the password starts with a 'Q' the qubic 55 lowercase alphabetic seed is generated, if the password does not start with 'Q' then a 24 word bip39 seed is created. The actual seed is not saved on disk and all instances of seeds, subseeds, privatekeys are immediately scrubbed from memory after their use. The addseed command can be used to create an account with pre-existing seed and link it to a password, the Qpassword convention is not used for external seeds added.
