How to set up Email & Phone Backup

Update: We’re currently experiencing an issue with SMS code delivery that affects Email & Phone Backup.

If you can’t receive the SMS code when restoring your wallet with Email & Phone Backup, please use your Recovery Phrase to restore your wallet instead.

  1. You'll be prompted to set up a recovery method during your wallet setup. Tap Get Started.
    If you have an existing wallet, open settings by tapping the gear icon Settings.png at the upper right > Security & Privacy > Email & Phone Backup. Then tap Get Started > Continue.
  2. Select your email backup option and sign in there.
  3. Confirm your phone number:
    Note: This is a different process than connecting your phone number to your address.
    1. Enter your phone number and tap Continue.
    2. Enter the code sent to you.
  4. That's it! You now have Email & Phone Backup set up.

Consider manually backing up your Recovery Phrase for added protection. Check out this article to learn where to find your Recovery Phrase.
