Exodus wallet isn’t locked. However, the process of securing it begins automatically once you’ve made a deposit in the wallet.
To receive crypto, switch to the Wallet tab, and then first select the cryptocurrency you want to receive. You can also view a price chart of the selected crypto on this page, in case you’re interested, else just click and copy the receive address for your wallet. You can also email this address and even take a screenshot of the QR code, which the sender can then scan from their device.
As soon as you receive the first deposit, Exodus will ask you to password protect your wallet. The app, through its documentation and videos, suggests using a password manager app for this purpose, which we believe is a very prudent advice. Exodus will also display a 12 word phrase that’ll help you recover your password. Again the developers suggest jotting this phrase on a piece of paper for offline storage rather than on your computer.
