Read the lesson

Don't panic: your crypto isn't on the phone, it's on the blockchain.

  1. Lock or erase the phone remotely: Find My on iPhone, Find My Device on Android.
  2. Restore your wallet on a new phone with your 12 words.
  3. Could someone unlock the old phone, or were your words saved on it? Act fast: move your funds to your verified exchange, then start a fresh wallet.
  4. Connect your wallet to SorooshX again and sign in as usual.

Next time: a passcode on your phone and a password in your wallet app.

Check yourself: (1) Where is your crypto, really? (2) What restores the wallet? (3) When do you move funds to a new wallet?
