Recovery phrases

With NFID Wallet, you have the option to generate a recovery phrase to help improve account security. If all your devices are lost, you can then use your recovery phrase to regain access to your NFID Wallet.

A recovery phrase is a randomly generated phrase that you can use to regain access to your NFID Wallet. While it’s not required, using a recovery phrase may improve the security of your account if you can keep it safe.
