Recovering your Vault

There are two options to recover your Vault in the event of loss, theft, or factory reset:
  • 12-word recovery phrase
  • Social Key Recovery

Recovering your Vault with a 12-word recovery phrase

Your 12-word recovery phrase allows you to instantly recover your Vault.
  1. From the welcome screen in Zion, tap Recover your Zion Vault.
    Zion Welcome Screen
  2. Choose a passcode type.
    • Alphanumeric passcode: Uses letters and numbers, must be at least six characters long. This passcode type may provide better security than numeric passcodes.
    • Numeric passcode: Must be 6 digits.
  3. Tap Use 12-word recovery phrase > OK.
  4. Type the 12 words of your recovery phrase in order.
  5. Enter a passcode. Type it a second time to confirm.

You can set up Social Key Recovery as an additional backup feature for your Vault.
