If you are reading this article, you have probably just received your new Xaman Cards and are eager to get them setup and configured properly.
Most people will want to configure one of the cards as a "backup" card. This is an excellent idea because it ensures that if something were to happen to one of the cards, the other card could be used to access the assets in the account.
In order to configure a backup card, you must import two cards into Xaman.
That means that you will need to go through the following steps twice, once for each card.
If you decide to not import two cards into Xaman, you will not be able to run the Tangem Backup xApp or configure a backup card.
1) From the main screen of Xaman, press the Settings button, choose Accounts, then press the the + Add account button.
You should see this screen:
2) Choose Add Tangem card then hold one of the cards up to the NFC reader on your phone.
You should see this message:
3) Tap Generate account then hold the card against the NFC reader on your phone again.
4) Xaman will ask you test the card. Press the Verify button.
5) After you have scanned the card, Xaman will display the r-address that the card belongs to. Press the Confirm button.
6) Enter the account label for the card then press the Next button.
You have successfully imported one of your aman Cards into Xaman!🥳
If you are planning to configure a backup card, you are going to need to repeat all of the steps above with a second card. If you do not import a second card, you will not be able to configure a backup card.
If your plan is to configure a backup card, only one of the cards will need to be activated. The second card does not need to be activated with 10 XRP.
