Warpcast

New feature on Warpcast mobile

Account recovery

Farcaster accounts now have the ability to be recovered. Our best estimate is 10-15% of all Farcaster users in the beta lost their recovery phrase.

If you know someone who lost their recovery phrase: 

Open the app > Login > I lost my recovery phrase to get started

Think of this as a user-controlled password reset for something onchain.

Users that sign up with Warpcast have this set by default. So we're able to offer password reset type functionality for an onchain primitive.

If you want to change it you can in Settings > Advanced > Change recovery address.

Does this mean you recover it by proving ownership of the underlying ETH wallet?

Hmmm so I went and updated the address to my own ethereum address. Would that break the flow? (Apologies for the lack of technical understanding here)

Each FID registration

FID - integer
Custody address - Ethereum address that can generate EdDSA signers for Hubs (Warpcast generates this in our sign up flow)
Recovery address - Warpcast managed address

If you create an account outside of Warpcast, you can use an existing Ethereum address for custody and recovery.
