Go to Settings, click on Back up or Restore, and Back up your wallet.

Now that you're seeing your recovery phrase, back it up safely:

  • Write your recovery phrase on a durable, water-resistant material like metal. Avoid paper, as it can degrade over time.

  • Avoid storing unencrypted digital copies of your recovery phrase, as it exposes you to hacking and data breaches.

  • Create multiple copies of your recovery phrase and store them in separate, secure locations to minimize the risk of loss.

  • Do not share your recovery phrase with anyone. Be cautious of phishing attempts, and never enter your recovery phrase on suspicious websites or apps.

  • Periodically check the storage location and condition of your recovery phrase to ensure it remains safe and undamaged.

Now, tap each word in the correct order to ensure your backup was done correctly.

Bitkit doesn't have any access to your funds and can't do anything to recover them if you lose your recovery phrase.

After you've backed up, secure your wallet.
