### I can't find my wallet. Can I not attach one? ### I can't find my wallet. Can I not attach one?
We currently don't list every wallet individually but [this is planned](https://github.com/stackernews/stacker.news/issues/1495). If you can't find your wallet, there is still a high chance that you can attach one. Many wallets support Nostr Wallet Connect or provide lightning addresses.

The following table shows how you can attach some common wallets: You can also let us know in the [saloon](/daily) that your wallet isn't listed so we can add it!

### What do the arrows mean?
Not every wallet supports both sending and receiving sats. For example, a lightning address can receive sats but not send them. This is indicated with an arrow to the bottom-left ↙️. A wallet that can send sats will have an arrow to the top-right ↗️.
If you still can't attach a wallet, you can reach out to us in the [saloon](/daily) or simply reply to this FAQ.

### Why is my wallet not showing up on another device? ### Why do I need to enter a passphrase on another device to see my wallets?
By default, permissions to spend from your wallet are only stored on your device. Credentials to spend from your wallet are always stored encrypted on the server. The encryption key is generated and stored on your device.
However, you can enable [device sync](/settings/passphrase) in your settings to securely sync your wallets across devices. Once enabled, your wallets will show up on all devices you entered your passphrase. You need to enter your passphrase on another device so it can derive the same key to decrypt your wallets.
