Warning
- You should never perform this procedure unless a disaster event has occurred and you need to reconstruct your workspace.
- This procedure reconstructs your private key material. Perform this procedure only on an offline machine. Performing this procedure on an online machine will result in your private key being considered exposed and compromised.
Recovering your workspace's private key material
To recover your private key material:
- Open the Recovery Utility on an offline machine, then select Recover Private Keys. You can also select Recover on the left menu.
- Complete the following fields:
- Recovery Kit: Drop or select the full recovery kit ZIP file that you generated or that you received from Fireblocks.
- Recovery Private Key: Drop or select the private key file corresponding to the public key used to encrypt the recovery package.
- Mobile App Recovery Passphrase: Enter the workspace Owner's recovery passphrase.
- Recovery Private Key Passphrase: Enter the passphrase set for the private key file.
- Select Recover.
After the verification process finishes, the Accounts page opens. You can reconstruct your workspace here.
Use auto-generated passphrase
If you auto-generated a passphrase during your workspace's initial setup, select the Use auto-generated passphrase checkbox. Selecting this option causes the following changes:
- The Mobile App Recovery Passphrase field changes into the Auto-Generate Private Key Passphrase field.
- The Auto-Generated Passphrase Private Key field appears.
In the Auto-Generate Private Key Passphrase field, enter the auto-generated passphrase set for the private key file.
In the Auto-Generated Passphrase Private Key field, drop or select the private key file corresponding to the public key used to encrypt the auto-generated passphrase file.
