I'd recommend you to not use jaxx.
Their developer are extremely incompetent.


The Desktop version has a severe vulnerability where anyone with a few seconds access to your computer (e.g. network access) is able to extract your seed.
The reason for that is a faulty encryption.

After disclosing the vulnerability to them, they claimed its not a vulnerability at all and your wallet "is only as secure as your computer".
The statement itself is true, but that's a horrible excuse to not fix the vulnerability. There are many scenarios where this can be exploited, while other wallets (e.g. every other proper wallet like core, wasabi, electrum, ..) are not vulnerable in those scenarios.


I wouldn't touch anything from the jaxx development team.
