Restore from an existing Spot wallet

If you had funds in a Spot wallet before, then you were forced to perform a backup of your wallet.

It was either a ☁️ cloud backup as recommended or a ✍️ manual backup (a recovery phrase with 12 words that you had to write down).

✍️ Manual backup

If you had performed a ✍️ manual backup in Spot before, you will then be able to enter your 12-words recovery phrase to recover your wallet.

🚨 You should never share your 12-words recovery phrase with anyone and we will never ask you to share it with us. The recovery phrase contains your cryptocurrencies and the right to spend them.

☁️ Cloud backup

If you had performed a ☁️ cloud backup, then you will automatically be asked if you want to restore this wallet when installing Spot on a new phone or re-installing Spot on the same device.

☑️ You have to make sure you are connected with the same iCloud account/Google account that was used when the cloud backup was made.

☑️ You will need the PIN code you used to protect your wallet when you preformed the cloud backup the first time.
