Just unlock your phone, and you’re in.

Your passkey = your wallet's private key (recovery phrase)
If it’s gone, your wallet is gone
No one (not even the walllet team) can get it back for you.
We don’t store our users data so We can’t recover it. Only your device can unlock your wallet.

Don’t delete your passkey
Don’t remove your Google or Samsung account
Don’t factory reset your phone without a backup

If you get a new phone, your passkey can come with you, but only if:
You’re signed in to the same Google or Samsung account
You had backup/sync turned on
Otherwise, you’ll lose access to your walllet.
Tip: Always keep cloud backup turned on so your passkey moves with you.
