Device Migration

The functionality of your Gridlock wallet is tied to the phone you registered with. But what if your phone is lost or replaced?

That's where your guardians step in! They can authorize the switch to your new device. When you log into Gridlock on your new device, you wil be in 'View only' mode, restricting you from making transactions.

Gridlock will prompt you to change your primary device to the new one you're using. To confirm the switch, you will need approval from your guardians. This is called Social Verification and it's incredibly strong against hacks. Your crypto remains safe even if someone guesses your password!
