During registration every user receives a unique WM-ID and a secret key to access their electronic money. Your ID and money in purses can only be controlled by means of your secret key, therefore you should keep it in a safe place.
In order to register with the system you will have to choose between the two WM Keeper clients: Classic and Light. You can find a detailed description of both in the corresponding sections of the site and study their technical and functional features.
