Making backups

The wallet will prompt you to create a backup. We strongly recommend that you start the backup process right away. You can backup your keys to your other Tangem cards. We recommend that you backup all 2 or 3 cards to use to prevent problems in the future.

  1. Tap “Add a backup card”.
