'''Watch keys''' or xpubs are useful to display your balance in case of Bisq wallet corruption '''without exposing private keys''' to an external wallet estimated by the Bisq [[wallet]].
Go to <code>Account - Wallet Info</code> to find your watch keys.
''Xpub'' is used to watch segwit (P2WPKH) addresses, and ''P2PKH'' or ''zpub'' is for legacy and BSQ addresses.

== Importing watch key to external wallet. ==

Import the watch keys one by one to [http://electrum.org/ Electrum] or [https://samouraiwallet.com/sentinel Sentinel] to display your balance safely. 
At Electrum, create a new <code>Standard wallet</code> through <code>Use Master Key</code> and paste the xpub or zpub, which is a string similar to  ''xpub6CUGRUonZSQ4TWtTMmzXdrXDtypWKiKrhko4egpiMZbpiaQL2jkwSB1icqYh2cfDfVxdx4df189oLKnC5fSwqPfgyP3hooxujYzAu3fDVmz''. 
Similar steps are required for Sentinel.
