Profile Recovery
What is a recovery phrase?
In Keet, the recovery phrase is a human-readable backup made of 24 random words that lets you restore your identity and access your encrypted data if you lose your device or reinstall the app.
Your seed phrase provides full access to your profile. Make sure to access it and store it somewhere safe. It should not be shared with anyone.
We store your recovery phrase for you in Keet on your original device only when you choose the Quick setup option while creating your profile. If you lose access to that device without backing up your seed phrase first the profile can no longer be recovered.
We strongly recommend to securely backup or write down your recovery phrase and store it in a safe place as soon as possible after the profile setup. 🔑
Once lost, it is permanently unrecoverable, and you might lose access to your identity and data.
Do not share your recovery phrase with anyone as it provides full access to your profile💎
