Recovery - dGEN1 Burner Card
Included in your dGEN1 package, you received a recovery Burner Card, which acts as a recovery mechanism for your dGEN1 wallet.
In the dGEN1 Onboarding, you will be prompted to tap your burner card on the NFC chip behind the camera. The card prompts the dGEN1 wallet address to be created, and the burner card can be used anytime to recover your funds on the device, just like you would with a seed phrase.
To recover your dGEN1 wallet:
Head to https://recovery.freedomfactory.io on your phone
Tap to connect your Burner card
Follow the prompts
That's it! You're now able to recover your funds from the dGEN1 wallet.
A few notes on Recovery setup with the NFC Burner Card in the box:
When you setup with your burner card, tapping on the dGEN1 generates your dGEN1 address, and designates your Burner card as your Backup wallet address.
Your Burner card address will be different than your dGEN1 address. This is correct. Since the dGEN1 is an Account Abstracted wallet, your Burner acts as a "Seed Phrase" of sorts to recover your assets to your Burner wallet in case of emergency.
If you want to recover your assets, go to https://recovery.freedomfactory.io/ and follow the steps with your Burner Card on your phone.
If you factory-reset your dGEN1, you will create a new address. You can still use your Recovery card as the recovery wallet. In the onboarding you need to click on "SKIP" at the Card setup step, then click "I understand" then "Scan QR Code". Then, on your phone, go to https://recovery.freedomfactory.io/, click "View Card Address" and scan your recovery card. You will then be shown a QR Code, scan this QR code using the dGEN1 and you are setup as normal.
