Backup & Recovery

Backing Up Your Wallet

Your wallet can be backed up using your seed phrase (12 words) or private key.

Viewing Your Seed Phrase

1. Open the PolyPulse popup
2. Go to Settings → Security
3. Enter your password
4. Your seed phrase and private key will be displayed
5. Write them down and store securely

DANGER

Never screenshot, copy to clipboard long-term, or store your seed phrase in a notes app, email, or cloud storage. Paper in a secure location is the safest option.

Recovering Your Wallet

If you uninstall PolyPulse or switch to a new computer:

1. Install PolyPulse from the Chrome Web Store
2. Click "Import Wallet"
3. Enter your seed phrase (12 words) or private key
4. Set a new password
5. Your wallet and funds are restored

Importing to Other Wallets

Your PolyPulse wallet is a standard Ethereum/Polygon wallet. You can import it into:

• MetaMask: Import using private key
• Rabby: Import using seed phrase or private key
• Any EVM-compatible wallet: Same process

This means your funds are always accessible, even if PolyPulse is discontinued.

What If I Lose My Password?

If you forget your password but have your seed phrase:

1. Uninstall and reinstall PolyPulse (or use "Delete Wallet" in settings)
2. Import your wallet using the seed phrase
3. Set a new password

If you lose both your password and seed phrase, your funds are permanently inaccessible. There is no recovery mechanism.
