5. If I lose access to my TP wallet, can I recover the authorizations?
If a user loses access to their TP wallet, whether through a lost password or a device failure, recovering the authorizations depends on the backup strategy used during wallet setup. TP wallet provides the option to backup recovery phrases or keys, which are essential for wallet recovery.
Here's how you can potentially recover access and, consequently, authorizations:
Use Your Recovery Phrase: Remember, during wallet creation, your recovery phrase (often 12-24 words) is crucial. By entering this phrase into the TP wallet application on a new device, you can regain access to your wallet and its associated authorizations.
Backup Recovery Keys: If done so, using any saved private keys can also restore access to the specific addresses, thereby reviving all past authorizations.
Authorization Overview: After recovery, you can then navigate to the original DApps you had authorized within the wallet and check if they still hold your authorizations. In some cases, you may need to re-authorize specific DApps.
Wherever possible, preventive measures such as safe key storage or using hardware wallets can enhance overall wallet security. In scenarios where access to the wallet is lost, the best practice remains to have robust backups to prevent any potential loss.
