Portal-Managed Recovery (default)
When using Portal-Managed Backups, you can simply call theportal.recoverWallet()
function passing an empty string for the cipherText
parameter. Portal will then fetch the cipherText
from our backend and complete the recovery process.
WARNING: To recover a wallet with the Portal SDK, your device must be configured to use passcode authentication. Please note that if you disable your passcode authentication after executing the
recover
function, you will need to run the recover
function again.Self-Managed Recovery
