Trust Wallet has emerged as one of the most trusted hot wallets in the crypto space. With support for over 100 blockchains and more than 10 million digital assets—including cryptocurrencies, tokens, NFTs, and synthetic assets—it has become a go-to choice for crypto enthusiasts.
Despite its user-friendly design, Trust Wallet’s non-custodial nature means users bear full responsibility for safeguarding access. Losing access to your wallet can be stressful, but recovery is often possible. Here’s a detailed guide to restoring your Trust Wallet on both PC and mobile devices.
Understanding How Trust Wallet Works
Trust Wallet is a Web3 wallet available on both mobile devices and desktop platforms via a Chrome extension. It supports iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, and Linux, making it highly accessible.
Self-Custody and Seed Phrases
Trust Wallet is a self-custody wallet, meaning users are solely responsible for their funds. Upon creating a wallet, you receive a 12-word seed phrase that represents your wallet’s private and public keys.
- Private Keys: Grant access to your wallet and funds.
- Seed Phrase (Recovery Phrase): Acts as a backup, enabling you to restore your wallet and access your funds even if the wallet application is lost or uninstalled.
Safeguarding this seed phrase is critical. Losing or exposing it can lead to permanent loss of funds or unauthorized access.
Passwords for Extra Security
Trust Wallet adds another layer of protection through passwords, which you set during setup. The password prevents unauthorized access to your wallet if someone gains physical access to your device.
Common Issues Leading to Lost Access
Losing access to your Trust Wallet typically falls into two categories:
- Password Issues: Forgotten or incorrect passwords.
- Seed Phrase Issues: Lost, incomplete, or invalid recovery phrases.
How to Recover Your Trust Wallet
Recovering Trust Wallet on PC
1. Forgotten Password
If you’ve forgotten your password, you can reset your wallet and restore it using your seed phrase:
- Open the Trust Wallet browser extension.
- Ignore the password prompt and click on Reset Wallet.
- Enter your recovery phrase to create a new wallet instance.
2. Seed Phrase Issues
If you’ve lost your password but still have access to the Chrome extension, you can retrieve your seed phrase:
- Open the Trust Wallet extension and log in with your password.
- Navigate to Settings > View Secret Phrase to reveal your recovery phrase.
- Write down the phrase and secure it safely before attempting any reset.
Recovering Trust Wallet on Mobile
1. Forgotten Password
To reset your wallet on mobile:
