A PEM file contains your wallet’s private key in a standard export format. It’s typically used for advanced actions like signing transactions or interacting with blockchain tools outside the Plug interface.
You should only export your PEM file if you know exactly why you need it, and always treat it as sensitive information.
How to export your PEM file:
Tap the "..." icon at the top right of the main screen
Go to Settings
Tap Export PEM File
Enter your password
Your PEM file will download automatically to your device
⚠️ Security Reminder
Your PEM file gives full access to your wallet
Never share it with anyone, including Plug support
Do not store it in the cloud or upload it to any untrusted site
Handle your PEM file with the same care as your seed phrase.
