# Fast Vault

## Overview

Fast Vault is the "hot wallet" equivalent in Vultisig. It allows vault creation with a single device, without requiring multiple devices from the user.

Fast Vaults are configured as two-factor vaults: one factor is the user's device, the other is the Vultiserver, which automatically co-signs user requests. This creates a single-signature experience while maintaining threshold security.

Learn more about Vultiserver in the [Infrastructure documentation](/infrastructure/what-is-vultisigner.md).

{% hint style="info" %}
Fast Vaults are recommended for daily transactions and smaller amounts. For larger holdings, use a [Secure Vault](/app-guide/creating-a-vault/secure-vault.md).
{% endhint %}

3. Choose a vault name
4. Enter your email to receive the server vault share
5. Set a password for the server share

{% hint style="warning" %}
Remember this password. It encrypts your backup and is the only way to access it. Vultisig cannot help with password recovery.
{% endhint %}

6. Set an optional hint for the password
7. Start keygen and wait for completion
8. Enter the 4-digit verification code received via email
9. Backup your device share

{% hint style="danger" %}
Do not store the device backup on the device itself. Use separate cloud storage or offline media.
{% endhint %}

10. Start using your Fast Vault

***

## Backups

Fast Vaults have **two backup shares** despite using one user device for signing:

* **Device share**: Your device's vault share
* **Server share**: Sent to your email during creation

{% hint style="info" %}
Both shares must be backed up in separate locations. See [Backup & Recovery](/getting-started/backup-recovery.md) for storage recommendations.
{% endhint %}

***

## Troubleshooting

**Unable to connect to the server** The server may be temporarily unavailable. Try again later.

**Unstable Network** Keygen may fail with unstable connections. Quit the app, change networks, and restart.

**Unable to sign with Fast Vault**

1. *Server not available*: Try again later
2. *QR code appears instead of password prompt*: You imported the server share instead of the device share. Import the correct device share.
