Your recovery phrase

Twelve words that get you back in if you forget your unlock. They are shown once, so write them down.

Step by step

1. Write the 12 words on paper, in order. Keep the paper somewhere safe, away from your phone.
2. Tap “I have written it down”, then type back the three words the app asks for.
3. Prefer not to? Tap “Skip for now”. The app reminds you on the next three openings, then stops.
4. Or choose “Use a PIN instead” to set a Recovery PIN as your fallback.

Good to know

• Without the Recovery Phrase or a Recovery PIN, a forgotten unlock cannot be undone. Nobody can reset it, including us.
• The app keeps no copy of the words. You can make new ones any time in Settings.
