# Where can I find my private key?

The **private key** is like the key to your digital safe where you keep your cryptocurrencies. You need this key to unlock and manage your digital money. Think of it as your special, super-secret password for your digital wallet. **Keep it safe and never share it with anyone. Losing it could mean losing your digital coins forever.**

To see your private key, your wallet should be **activated**. If it's not follow the instructions in this [article](https://coinplus.gitbook.io/help-center/getting-started/how-to-send-crypto-from-the-coinplus-wallet).

In case your card/bar is already activated follow the instructions below:

**Step 1**

* Select the **card/bar** you wish
* Click on the **wallet settings** button
