Why does Delta Trust say too many attempts and that it emailed me?

\n

Short answer: Repeated wrong kits pause entry for a while to stop guessing, and the vault's email is notified. Your vault is untouched — wait the time shown and retry with your kit.

\n

After several wrong recovery-kit attempts, entering a kit is paused for a while. That's deliberate: it stops anyone working through guesses at a kit they half-remember. Nothing has been lost — your vault and everything in it are untouched.

\n

We also email the vault's address so you know it happened. If it wasn't you, contact support. Otherwise, wait until the time shown and try again with your kit in front of you.
