For details on how to recover your wallet using iCloud backup, please refer to the following guide: Recovering your wallet with iCloud backup.
Important
Please be aware that iOS supports the sharing of passkeys between users, such as for family accounts. When you create an iCloud backup for your Kraken Wallet, this backup is stored in a passkey. If you share your passkeys with others, then you are sharing access to your Kraken Wallet.
Before creating an iCloud backup, consider whether you share your device or iCloud account with others. Anyone who has access to both could potentially access your Kraken Wallet, even if you've set a password for the app.
Create a backup: New users
Create a backup: Existing users
Note: if you're an existing Kraken Wallet user and don't see the "iCloud backup recommended" prompt in Settings, you can try the following:
- •Update your Kraken Wallet app to the latest version.
- •Update your mobile device to iOS 17 or later.
