What it is
When you set up boopr, the app quietly generates a list of 24 words for you. It doesn't show them during signup; they wait in Settings for whenever you're ready. That phrase is the master key to your account. It's created on your device, and we can never read it.
What it brings back
Your phrase restores your account, your profile, and your posts on a new phone. If you lose your device, get a new one, or reinstall the app, the 24 words are how you pick up where you left off.
Recovery is always free. It isn't a boopr+ feature, and it never will be.
Where to find it
You can view your recovery phrase any time in Settings › Security. If you've never written it down, go there and do it now, before you ever need it.
How to keep it safe
- Write it on paper and store it somewhere only you can reach, like the spot you'd keep a passport or a spare key.
- Consider a second copy in a different place, in case the first is lost.
- Anyone who has all 24 words can restore your account, so treat them like cash.
We can't reset it for you. Because we can never read your phrase, there's no copy to email you and no "forgot password" button. That's the same design that stops anyone, including us, from reading what you share. The phrase is the trade-off that makes the privacy real.
Why a phrase and not a password
A password you reset over email would mean we hold the keys to your account. If we held them, so could anyone who broke into our servers or served us a subpoena. The 24-word phrase keeps that power on your phone instead. It's built on standard encryption, not a boopr-only format, so your account isn't trapped here either.
