BAP Identity Management FAQs

Question 1

What is the difference between Type42 and Legacy backups?

Accepted Answer

Type42 backups use random root private keys for simpler management, while Legacy backups use BIP32 Hierarchical Deterministic (HD) derivation from a mnemonic phrase for recovery.

Question 2

How do I upgrade the security of an old backup file?

Accepted Answer

You can use the 'bbackup upg' command through this skill to migrate older backups with 100,000 PBKDF2 iterations to the more secure 600,000 iteration standard.

Question 3

What is a .bep file?

Accepted Answer

A .bep (Bitcoin Encrypted Payload) file is a JSON structure encrypted using AES-256-GCM and PBKDF2-SHA256, specifically designed for storing BAP identities and sensitive wallet data.

Question 4

Can I use this for automated Playwright tests?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this skill provides specific commands and programmatic patterns for generating temporary BAP identity fixtures and keys for use in automated web testing environments.

Question 5

Can I recover a lost password for a BAP identity?

Accepted Answer

No, the encryption is local and non-custodial. The password is the only way to derive the decryption key; if it is lost, the data cannot be recovered.
