Enabling Plugins in Electrum
- Open Electrum and go to Tools → Plugins.
- Internal plugins are listed in the dialog. Toggle the checkbox to enable or disable them.
- External plugins can be imported from
.zipfiles by clicking the Add button in the plugins dialog. - Some plugins (hardware wallets) are automatically enabled when you create or restore a hardware wallet.
First-time setup: When loading an external plugin for the first time, Electrum will ask you to set a plugin password. This password is independent of your wallet and can be reset if forgotten. To verify plugin authenticity on subsequent startups without re-entering the password, Electrum requires you to store a public key string with root permissions. The root permissions prevent malware from modifying the key.
