Warning: Electrum versions older than 3.3.4 are susceptible to phishing. Do not download Electrum from another source than electrum.org, and learn to verify GPG signatures.

Safe

Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a way to add additional security to your wallet. The first 'factor' is your password for your wallet. The second 'factor' is a verification code retrieved via text message or from an app on a mobile device. 2FA is conceptually similar to a security token device that banks in some countries require for online banking.

Your private keys are encrypted and never leave your computer.

Forgiving

Your funds can be recovered from a secret phrase.

Instant On

Electrum is fast, because it uses servers that index the Bitcoin blockchain.

No Lock-In

You can export your private keys and use them in other Bitcoin clients.

No Downtimes

Electrum servers are decentralized and redundant. Your wallet is never down.

Proof Checking

Electrum Wallet verifies all the transactions in your history using SPV.

Cold Storage

Keep your private keys offline, and go online with a watching-only wallet.

Multisig

Split the permission to spend your coins between several wallets.

Add-ons

Electrum supports third-party plugins: Multisig services, Hardware wallets, etc.
