There are two ways to back up a Polymesh account. This article covers both ways.
Save your recovery phrase
The 12-word recovery phrase is only showed once during initial setup of your account and cannot be shown afterwards for security reasons. Therefore, it is very important to save it in a safe place in case you need to restore your account, and to prevent others from gaining access.
Export account to a JSON file
- Open the Polymesh Wallet.
- Click on the three dots near the account you want to export, then click on Export account.
- On the next screen, enter your wallet password then click on Export account again.
- Your JSON backup file will have the name of your account and will be downloaded to your default download folder.
