Hello

I'm new with Bitcoin and there is something I don't understand...

I used Multibit Classic version for one month. I understand that they created some files in a folder, and that it is our "wallet"?

But now I switched to Multibit HD. And there are no such file? I don't understand what happen if I lose my computer, and where are my bitcoins exactly?

It seems like I only need the "secret list of words" in order to get my bitcoin back, if I lose my computer for example. But it seems weird to me.

If I lose my computer. I can take another computer. install Multibit HD. Enter the list of words. And I'll have my Bitcoins back?? really?

Thanks for your explanations...
The "secret list of words" it's called passphrase, and it's actually more secure then keeping a file data on your computer.
Because the file on your computer is easily to be hacked, but a file on your brain is hard to be hacked.  Smiley
