The types of keys are: 1. Active 2. Owner 3. Memo Follow the below steps to generate keys in the wallet ### 1. Set a password and unlock the wallet In a **new** command line window, we can access the cli\_wallet program after all the blocks have been downloaded from the chain. Note that "your-password-here" is a password that you're creating for the cli\_wallet and doesn't necessarily have to be the password you used while creating Peerplays account. ``` cli_wallet set_password your-password-here unlock your-password-here ``` The CLI wallet will show `unlocked >>>` when successfully unlocked. A list of CLI wallet commands is available here: ### 2. Generate OWNER private keys for the cli\_wallet and import them The below command will return an array with your owner key in the form of `["PPYxxx", "xxxx"] ["TESTxxx", "xxx"].` Note that the "created-username" and "created-password" used here are the username and password from the Peerplays-DEX account created. ``` get_private_key_from_password created-username owner created-password ``` The second value in the returned array is the private key of your owner key. Now we'll import that into the cli\_wallet. ``` import_key "created-username" SECONDVALUEFROMLASTCOMMAND ```

### 3. Generate ACTIVE private keys for the cli\_wallet and import them The below command will return an array with your active key in the form of `["PPYxxx", "xxxx"] / ["TESTxxx", "xxx"].` Note that the "created-username" and "created-password" used here are the username and password from the Peerplays-DEX account ``` get_private_key_from_password created-username active created-password ``` The second value in the returned array is the private key of your active key. Now we'll import that into the cli\_wallet. ``` import_key "created-username" SECONDVALUEFROMLASTCOMMAND ``` The keys that begin with "PPY"/"TEST" are the public keys.
