Create Backups

Before you create a backup of your primary SafeKey, it's best to get one or multiple backup SafeKeys so you can create identical devices.

1) Click on the "Backup/Restore" tab and then on the green "Backup" button.

2) If you've already set a PIN code for your device, you'll have to enter it first.

3) Touch your SafeKey to verify the connected device.

4) You'll be prompted a generated passphrase.

This passphrase, consisting of 12 secret words, is used to protect your backup file that will be exported in the next step.

Please keep the generated passphrase safe since it will only be shown once and you'll need this passphrase to restore the backup on a later moment.

Click on the green "Continue" button if you've safely stored the passphrase.

5) Your backup file (a .dat-file) is being generated.

6) Once your backup is ready, you'll be asked to save the .dat-file on your computer or another storage device.

This .dat file contains your backup, protected by the generated passphrase, and can be used to restore your SafeKey device in the future.
