Security Notice

Recovering your wallet with a mnemonic seed phrase requires you to enter sensitive information. Ensure you are in a secure and private environment before proceeding.

Losing access to your wallet can be stressful, but if you've backed up your mnemonic seed phrase, recovering your account is straightforward!

Prerequisites

• You have the mnemonic seed phrase of the wallet you wish to recover

• pocketd is installed on your system; see the installation guide for more details

1

Prepare to Recover Your Wallet

Before you start, ensure you're in a secure and private environment. The mnemonic seed phrase is the key to your wallet, and exposing it can lead to loss of funds.

2

Recovering the Wallet

To recover your wallet, use the pocketd keys add command with the --recover flag. You will be prompted to enter the mnemonic seed phrase and optionally, a BIP39 passphrase if you've set one.

Recover wallet

pocketd keys add <insert-your-wallet-name-here> --recover

Example:

pocketd keys add myRecoveredWallet --recover

After entering the mnemonic seed phrase, the command will recover your wallet, displaying the wallet's address and public key.

No mnemonic will be shown since the wallet is being recovered, not created anew.

3

Verify Wallet Recovery

After recovery, list all wallets in your keyring to verify the recovered wallet appears with the correct address.
