Recovery
Enrolling Trusted Guardians for social recovery
Invite your friends and family to be your “Trusted Guardians” via email in the Settings page.
Your invited parties will receive an email invitation to download the Waymont Mobile App.
Once the invited Guardians download the Waymont Mobile App, it creates a private key secured via the Secure Enclave of their mobile device. It also asks the invited Guardian to backup an encrypted version of their keys to iCloud.
Confirm and approve their enrollment as a Trusted Guardian.
In the event that your Trusted Guardian loses their Trusted Device, they will be able to restore their recovery signer via their encrypted Apple iCloud backup.
They will just need to download the Waymont Mobile App again on their Apple account.
Recovering your keys
We’ve introduced account recovery to eliminate single-points of failure. A user may recover the following assets via the following steps:
Download the Waymont Mobile app and scan QR code on Waymont Web to login
Select "I have lost my Trusted Device," which triggers the Recovery process
Ask guardians to open their Waymont Mobile App and approve the recovery request via their biometrics
If 51% of the guardians approve the request, the device that triggered the recovery is designated as the new signer following a 48-hour waiting period.
