Where should I keep my Delta Trust recovery kit?

\n

Short answer: Keep it somewhere safe and separate from the Mac it protects — a kit that lives only on that Mac is lost with it. Don't share the 24 words with anyone.

\n

Somewhere safe and away from the Mac it protects. The kit exists for the day that Mac is lost, stolen, broken or compromised — so a copy that lives only on that Mac is no help on the day you need it.

\n

Good habits:

\n
  • Keep the printed copy somewhere secure at home or in a safe place you'd still have after losing the Mac.
  • If you keep a second copy, keep it somewhere separate from the first.
  • Don't share it: anyone with the words and access to your vault can open your backups.
