Your Vault Key will automatically be saved to your device and cloud service provider. After you receive your Backup Key’s 12-word seed phrase, you will need to input it in the correct sequence before continuing to the next step.



Note: Even though you can replace a lost or compromised key using Vault’s Key Replacement Service, it’s still important to store your Backup Key somewhere safe.
