Back up mnemonic phrase

A mnemonic phrase is a sequence of 12 words that serves as the sole method to recover your Olares ID. If you lose your devices or need to import your Olares account, you can use the phrase to regain your access to Olares.

WARNING

In a decentralized system, you are responsible for your own security.

Keep your mnemonic phrase safe and secret, and never share it with anyone. It is the only way to recover your Olares account.

Set up local password

When exporting or backing up your mnemonic phrase for the first time, you may be prompted to set a local password for LarePass. This password is only used to unlock LarePass services on the current device.

After setting up, you can choose to enable biometric unlock for more secure and convenient access using face recognition or fingerprint.

INFO

• All Olares IDs on the same device share one local password in the LarePass app.
• Local passwords for LarePass apps installed on different devices are independent and stored separately.

FAQ

What happens if I lose my mnemonic phrase?

Losing your mnemonic phrase will result in serious consequences:

• You will lose ownership of your digital identity (DID) and Olares ID.
• You won't be able to access data stored in Vault.

To prevent this, we strongly recommend taking these precautions:

• Offline backup: Write down the 12-word mnemonic phrase and store it securely, such as in a safe.
• Multi-device backup: Use LarePass's Vault to encrypt and save your mnemonic phrase on multiple devices. You only risk losing your mnemonic phrase if all these devices are lost.

I've activated Olares, why do I get a password error when trying to view my mnemonic phrase in LarePass?

If you encounter a password error, it may be because you haven't set a local password. Open the LarePass app, go to Settings > Security, and set a local password. Then try the backup process again.
