Learn how to easily connect your ChainIT ID wallet to a new device with our step-by-step recovery guide.
Steps for Wallet Recovery on a New Device
1. Logging in on a New Device
- When you log into the ChainIT ID app on a new device, the system will detect that your wallet file isn’t available on this device.
- You’ll automatically see a prompt or notification saying, “Connect your wallet to this device.”
2. Wallet Recovery Prompt
- Tap the “Connect your wallet” button on the prompt to begin the recovery process.
3. Guided Wallet Recovery Process
- The app will now guide you through the steps to download and restore your wallet.
- If your wallet recovery file is stored in a cloud storage account, you may be prompted to log into that account so the file can be downloaded.
- If you stored your wallet recovery file on your local device, the app will prompt you to upload this file.
4. Wallet Connection Confirmation
- After the wallet has been successfully restored, you’ll receive a confirmation message: “Your wallet is now connected to this device.”
- From this point forward, you’ll be able to access all regular app functions without any additional wallet setup prompts.
5. Error Handling
- If there are issues downloading your wallet file, an error message will appear with steps to try again or contact support.
- Important: You should not see confusing messages like “The file does not exist.” If you encounter issues, follow the instructions or reach out to support.
