Lose your keys Keep your identity
If a holder loses their keys, recovery is possible through a time-delayed process A recovery request opens a 24-hour waiting period, a deliberate security feature that frustrates social-engineering takeover After the delay, the holder rotates to a new key
Using another device If you know your account password, sign in with it and your Xity address, recovery is for lost access After recovery rotates your signing key, sign in with the recovered device key and enable a new account password in Security
The flow
Three steps, with a deliberate delay
01
Open a request
You file a recovery request from a new key pair, identifying the wallet to be recovered
02
Wait 24 hours
A deliberate waiting period begins This delay is a security feature, it frustrates social-engineering takeover
03
Complete rotation
After the delay, you complete the rotation The new key is now authoritative; the old key is invalidated
Why a delay at all? If recovery were instant, anyone who could trick a holder or their contacts into revealing a recovery code could seize the identity The 24-hour window gives the legitimate holder time to detect and cancel a fraudulent request
