Recover Files

Bring together the pieces your guardians kept safe.

Each guardian received a bundle with one piece of the key. Gather enough pieces below, add the encrypted archive, and your files will be decrypted here in the browser. Nothing leaves your device.

There are two ways in. Gather enough pieces from the guardians, or use one of the wallet's own keys to read the instructions written on the chain.

1 Gather the pieces

Drop README.txt files here, or click to choose them

Each file holds one person's piece
I am the owner and have my owner key

If your bundles were made with an owner key, you can recover alone, without the other pieces. Drop any one bundle above, then paste your secret owner key here.

2 Add the encrypted archive

Drop a recover.html or MANIFEST.age here, or click to choose it

Use a recover.html from any guardian's bundle, or the MANIFEST.age file

3 Recover the files

Read the chain copy

Your bundle's README holds a copy of the wallet's instructions, written on the Bitcoin chain. You do not need the other guardians to read it. You need one of the wallet's own keys.

This works with no internet. Nothing is sent anywhere.

The chain copy cannot be changed once it is written, so it may be older than your bundle. If the two disagree, trust your bundle.

Paste the long block of letters and numbers, or scan the QR code from the printed page. An xpub, one per line. A threshold backup needs more than one. This page never asks for a seed.
