The import-mnemonic command

zallet import-mnemonic enables a BIP 39 mnemonic to be imported into a Zallet wallet.

The command takes no arguments (beyond the top-level flags on zallet itself). When run, Zallet will ask you to enter the mnemonic. It is recommended to paste the mnemonic in from e.g. a password manager, as what you type will not be printed to the screen and thus it is possible to make mistakes.

$ zallet import-mnemonic
Enter mnemonic:

Once the mnemonic has been provided, press Enter. Zallet will import the mnemonic, and print out its ZIP 32 seed fingerprint (which you will use to identify it in other Zallet commands and RPCs).

$ zallet import-mnemonic
Enter mnemonic:
