Cloud Recovery is a recovery method that can restore the key protected by your Bitkey app (Mobile Key) on a new phone by using an encrypted backup that was created and stored in your cloud. If you ever need to change phones, you can connect your cloud account on the new device, and use your Bitkey hardware device to securely restore your wallet on the new phone in just a minute.
When a cloud backup is created, an encrypted copy of the Mobile Key is generated and stored in your cloud. Should you ever need to restore your wallet, or move it to another phone, this can be done easily and securely by accessing the encrypted copy of your Mobile Key that has been stored in your cloud. Cloud recovery involves logging into the cloud account you used when you first set up your Bitkey app - iCloud for iOS or Google cloud for Android. Once you’ve logged in, you will use your Bitkey hardware device to approve recovery and decrypt the saved Mobile Key, so be sure to have your hardware device available. Cloud recovery should only take a minute to complete.
Note: Cross-platform cloud recovery is not currently available. Cloud recovery can only be used to restore your wallet from the same OS and Cloud account that it was backed up to.
