--- title: Full Node Encryption description: Learn how to use encryption with lbrycrd, the full blockchain software for the LBRY network. --- *Note: The below instructions are the [LBRYCrd Full Blockchain wallet](https://github.com/lbryio/lbrycrd) and not the default wallet that ships with the LBRY App. We are still working on an encryption solution for this.* You can use `lbrycrd-cli encryptwallet ` to encrypt your wallet. You can use `lbrycrd-cli walletpassphrase ` to temporarily unlock the wallet. The parameter is in seconds. For example, `lbrycrd-cli walletpassphrase 'open sesame 321' 300` would unlock your wallet for five minutes, assuming your passphrase was `open sesame 321`. (In reality, you should choose a harder-to-guess passphrase than that.) If you set too low, it might expire before you get done using your wallet. If you set it too high, you might forget that you left your wallet unlocked.
