Reset Phantom

  • Updated

Resetting Phantom removes all wallet data from your device and returns you to the welcome screen. After the reset, you can create a new wallet or restore an existing one. 

You may need to reset Phantom in the following cases:

  • You want to remove all wallet data from your device (there's no traditional "Log Out" button).
  • You're experiencing persistent errors after an extension or app update, or transaction failures across multiple sites.
  • Apps (dApps) aren't connecting or responding correctly, and standard troubleshooting (clearing browser cache, disabling other extensions) hasn't resolved the issue.
  • The extension or app is behaving unexpectedly after a recent update.

Before resetting

Resetting the app deletes all wallet data on your device, including recovery phrases.

  • Make sure you've backed up your recovery phrase before resetting.
  • Make sure you remember your four-digit PIN and have access to the Google or Apple account used to create the wallet.
