FAQ #
What is the PIN used for? #
If you were asked to create a four-digit PIN during setup, you’ll need it along with your Google or Apple account whenever you sign in again to restore your wallet.
What happens if I enter the wrong PIN too many times? #
After seven incorrect attempts, the encrypted backup on that device is deleted. You can recover your wallet only if you’re still signed in on another device or previously exported your Secret Recovery Phrase.
Can I check which devices are still logged in to my wallet? #
No. Phantom doesn’t track or display active sessions across devices.
Can I reset or change my PIN? #
Yes. On a device where you’re signed in, go to Settings > Security & Privacy > Reset PIN. If this option isn’t available, your wallet doesn’t use a PIN.
Can I use Outlook email or other providers to log in to Phantom? #
You can use any email address linked to a Google or Apple account. To access Phantom, sign in through that Google or Apple account.
Can I change the email I used to create my wallet? #

Does my wallet have a recovery phrase? #
