The SHIELD Webwallet is a simple-to-use, convenient online alternative to the local wallets. By signing in to the online Webwallet, you can receive and send SHIELD from all of your devices, without needing to worry about network updates, etc.
While very convenient, there is also a relative downside: you will be trusting the Webwallet server to keep your SHIELD safe, as opposed to the local wallets, where you hold all of your keys.
If you choose to enable 2FA (two-factor-authentication), you must scan the QR code and add it immediately. There is no step to confirm your 2FA (i.e. no confirmation dialog which asks for a generated code), and there is also no way to disable 2FA at this time.
To make a Webwallet account, please visit the signup page here.
Enter your desired username, and then type your desired password, and once again to confirm.
Follow the prompts to pass the captcha, and then you will have your own SHIELD Webwallet account.
