It's recommended to create a Multi-Backup for account recovery:
Welcome to Flow Wallet | Flow Wallet
- Navigate to Settings > Backup > Create Multi-Backup.
- This will generate partial-weight keys stored across selected platforms like iCloud or Google Drive. A safety mechanism in case you need to get back into your account, you should NOT share this with anyone else. *This method is not our recommended way, you can choose what method best suits you.
Chrome Extension:
- The extension uses a 12-word seed phrase for security.
  - How to use the seed phrase
- Important: Carefully write down and securely store your seed phrase; losing it means losing access to your wallet.
- You will be asked to provide 3 of your seed phrase “words” to validate the wallet creation.
- Once you have completed that you have the wallet ready to use.

Important: Write down this recovery phrase and store it securely. It is crucial for account recovery and accessing your assets. Please jump to and read step 3 in this guide thoroughly as any compromise or loss of this phrase will result in the loss of your wallet contents.

After finalising the new password head to your email inbox and open the email from Blocto titled ‘Blocto Account Recovery Kit’. *Note: This could be in your junk/spam folder so make sure to check there too.

Keep this email open and continue this guide.

Step 3. Storing Key Phrases Securely:

Ensuring the security of your recovery phrase is vital for protecting your digital assets. Here are a few good practices to follow:

Offline Storage:

Write down your recovery phrase on paper and store it in a secure location, such as a locked note, password manager software or somewhere you believe to be secure where no one else can access it. This is like your password to your bank account in a way, treat it the same way you treat your bank account access.

Avoid Digital Storage:

Refrain from storing your recovery phrase in digital formats that are connected to the internet, such as cloud storage or email, to prevent unauthorised access.

Multiple Copies:

Consider creating multiple copies of your recovery phrase and storing them in separate, secure locations to mitigate the risk of loss or damage.
