Key principles
Understand, then verify
A local passcode protects app access but generally cannot substitute for your recovery phrase. Verify backups before resetting.
Identify the credential
Distinguish device unlock, app password and recovery phrase.
Check your backup
Do not erase application data until recovery is understood.
Avoid recovery scams
Treat requests for your phrase or private key as a serious warning.
Never share a private key or recovery phrase. Pause on unfamiliar signing requests or websites.
