Recoverability

Recoverability is one of the most important aspects of any self-custody wallet. In the world of crypto, losing access to your wallet can mean losing access to your funds forever. That’s why having multiple, reliable methods of recovery is essential. At Kresus, we understand that things can go wrong, emails can be lost, phones can break, and we’ve built a robust system to ensure you never get locked out of your wallet.

To ensure top-tier security and accessibility, Kresus provides configurable security options for wallet recovery. You can find these settings in the security drawer at the bottom of the homepage or by clicking the shield icon on the top right of your wallet.

Here's how it works:

• Email Recovery

  Your email is the foundation of your Kresus wallet. It’s used for account creation and serves as the first line of defense when recovering and accessing your account. If you ever lose access to your phone, you can initiate a recovery on another device using your email address.

• Phone Number

  In case you lose access to your email, we’ve got you covered. Your phone number acts as a second recovery mechanism, providing an additional layer of security and flexibility. This ensures that even if your primary recovery method fails, you won’t be locked out of your account.

• Advanced Biometrics

  For even greater security, Kresus employs device-independent 3D facial recognition as part of our advanced verification process. This feature ensures that you can securely recover your account using advanced facial recognition, independent of the device you’re on. Unlike traditional biometrics tied to a single device, this method allows you to authenticate securely across multiple devices.
