When attempting to open the sparrow export file my computer opens DB Browser for SQLite and prompts for a passphrase.

I entered the password that I created for the wallet in sparrow and it fails to open.

Is that because I’m opening the file in general from my desktop and not in sparrow specifically? Will the file not open unless done so via sparrow?

Yes, you need to open with sparrow. It is its own format and will use your wallet encryption password.

You wouldn't use that file without sparrow wallet either way.

While you could in theory just manually decrypt(knowing the crypto algo from sparrow open-source code) and inspect the raw db file, you would never need to do that.

Save your wallet encryption psw in a safe place therefore too.

That’s what I figured.

Thanks again, truly.
