Tangem Card: Lost Your Phone? No Worries! Learn the Easy Way to Restore Your Crypto Wallet!

[@ayhankahraman4406]

Thanks grandpa, my phone was broken and I didn't know how to upload it. Thanks to you, I got my funds back.

[@rm3450]

Thanks! Was worried that would lose phone and crypto be gone. This answered that well.

The Tangem 2.0 and the software are the products I’m happiest with in the hardware world. Really good product. Onekey touch comes in second for me.

[@itzyzaza1806]

I ❤ that intro! Thank you for this video. I was wondering about this about the time you made this video. That's something!

VERY VERY VERY VERY IMPORTANT: make sure you have your access code written down because you will need it with the card

Could you also do a OneKey (classic ?) restore tutorial ? Saw you did one for tangem, trezor, ledger, not yet for OneKey though. Would be very much appreciated. Or did I overlook ? Thanks,

Can I put my tangem on two phone??? Even though the first phone wasn't lost.... Hope for answer...thanks

[@acsolidus]

What if i dont know the seed phrase but have all 3 cards and a new phone? (Lost previous phone)

[@ViliGiX]

When generating a wallet via the Tangem application, am I able to see the seed phrase after some time and enter it in another wallet?

[@IdentifyAsMu]

That 's why I still use my original iphone SE...still frugal.

[@UltiMogr]

The real question is what if you need to migrate to another wallet if tangem goes bankrupt or stops supporting the app or if nfc technology dissapears in the future. Not your keys not your money. And in this case you don't know what the keys are!

[@nucreation9833]

Extremely Good question

[@CryptoDad]

All of those questions have been addressed with the new Tangem card, which allows you to create a 12 word backup. There is also this from the Tangem Support page: Will the card work if Tangem doesn’t exist as a company? Does Tangem use its own servers? Even though we have no intention of going out of business any time soon (we’ve been running smoothly since 2017), in case something terrible happens, Tangem cards and the app will continue to function. The Tangem app uses the company's servers to verify the card's authenticity, synchronize the list of tokens added between backup cards, and calculate the value of the cryptocurrency in your wallet. Without these services, you will still be able to use your Tangem cards, though it will be a little less convenient. You can read more on our blog via the link: tangem.com/en/blog/post/after-the-apocalypse-how-tangem-wallet-will-function-without-tangem/

[@F16_viper_pilot]

In addition to the response from CryptoDad, I would add that you can create a wallet by importing a seedphrase. You can use something like Ian Coleman’s BIP39 utility to create a 12 or 24 word seedphrase from random entropy such as die rolls or coin tosses. If you do that, be sure to run the tool offline and do not save the seedphrase on the computer. I use a usb live distribution of a minimal Linux OS to do such things with the internet access turned off.

[@LU5DX-1]

​@F16_viper_pilot : This is the most important piece of advice ever given in a video on Tangem Wallets. Do no let the Tangem app create your seed phrase. Make sure you use the 24 word seed phrase option and follow the method described by ​@F16_viper_pilot !

Hello, good time, I have some Ethereum-based rendering currency in the Ledger Nano X wallet, according to the rendering team's announcement, this currency migrates to the Solana platform, how can I transfer this currency to the Solana platform?? Or will it be transferred automatically? Thank you for your advice

[@chelseakkong]

I recall a video from somebody to backup your wallet, but I am having trouble finding how to do that. I find that the cards don't always scan.

[@inpersonaDK]

Thank you. Got my phone stolen. Terrified 😮

[@kuni-vu1ln]

Hi you mentioned at @2:20 that if you reset the access code it will reset the card. Is that mean if somebody stole your card and reset it you will lose your entire crypto even if you still have the 2 backup cards

[@joaolamy253]

Yes. If they know your access key they also use all your cripto 👊🏻

[@smyth613]

what do you mean reset your access code? you said you will have to reset the card. If you have to do a reset will you lose your crypto?? thx

[@funmoments3616]

I have doubt sir if i forgot the access code can i reset it? If this option available what will be the security because if my card got anyone they can easily reset the access code and take my crypto

[@CryptoDad]

It is my understanding that you can reset the access code if you possess two of the cards. So in order to prevent anyone else from resetting the cards and gaining access, you must practice good, physical security. Keep your cards separated and hidden well. They are not able to reset the access code if they find one card. But if someone manages to find two cards in your card set, then it is possible. I have never confirmed this feature, but other people have told me that it’s in their support documentation. I’m not a big fan of this. I think it should be impossible to reset the access code. But too many people would lose access to their crypto, because most people are pretty careless and forget their codes. So they have included this feature.

[@F16_viper_pilot]

@@CryptoDadThey also included an option in the app to disable the feature that allows two card possession to change the access code. This option is on a per card basis if I recall correctly. Also, I think around the 2:19 mark in the video you misspoke by saying that changing the access code would reset the card. The card is not reset when changing the access code.

[@cragzrogers5157]

What would happen if you set up the tangem card with no seed phrases,and you lose your cards, is it game over,or is there a way of getting your crypto back?

[@F16_viper_pilot]

Game over. You either need a card or the seed phrase. Without one of those you have no access to the crypto.

[@F16_viper_pilot]

02:15 I don’t believe you will lose access to your crypto if you forget your access code. However, you will need two cards to create a new access code and then should be able to get to your crypto. I.e., the card is not reset, only the access code is reset.

[@cryptoyes5368]

I have an issue today, I can’t withdraw anything from my Tangem wallet. What should I do?

[@NetoFerreira666]

2:04 Was this wallet that you synchronized made with seeds or was it generated internally on the card?!, I was very discouraged having to generate the seeds online on the cell phone screen, on the other hand, generating the seeds internally on the card is a dangerous case in the future the company no longer exists, my theory of using it safely would be to reset a cell phone "leave it clean" download the app create the seeds write them down in a safe place synchronize with the cards do the entire procedure and after that download the app on my cell phone of use and synchronizing just using the card's NFC reading without typing the seeds would it be possible this way?!

[@JesusIsLord1976]

Does the card itself have any heat issues, if put in an outdoor hidden area? Thx

[@CryptoDad]

From: tangem.com/en/help_center/security/#a5727554846237 How reliable and safe is it? What if a Tangem сard stops working? Tangem Wallet is a highly secure and reliable hardware wallet. The chip in your card is a microcomputer that generates a private key that never leaves the card. We have gone the extra mile to prove it externally: • The highest certification level among direct competitors that ensures no backdoors: EAL6+ by Common Criteria. This is the same level of chip protection used in passports. • The firmware has been audited by the world's top laboratory, Kudelski Security. • The only hardware wallet with the highest possible IP68 protection rate against environmental conditions. It is entirely safe from dust, water, and hacking attempts. • The card is durable enough to perform from -25 ℃ (-13 ℉) to +50 ℃ (122 ℉). You can even put it in the snow without repercussions. • The chip is designed to sign an infinite number of transactions with a life expectancy of 25+ years. • The chip is further protected against EMPs (electromagnetic pulses), ESD (electrostatic discharge) and X-rays in compliance with the ISO 7816-1 standard. Moreover, we have issued more than 800,000 cards since 2017. There have been no defects, and all the cards are still functioning.

What happens if a thief steals my phone and my wallet (where my main tangem is) Can I restore tangem (recover my crypto) with the other 2 cards?

[@0xDevelopers]

Hey crypto dad, What if thief steals my card and resets the Access Code, does also that resets the other two cards that are in my possession ?

[@F16_viper_pilot]

My understanding is that the access code cannot be reset unless you know the existing access code or have two of the cards.

[@Lulu-kt6gr]

What if your phone is hacked? I had my SIM card stolen once. I need a better option. I already purchased Tangem but I’d rather lose $75 than lose BTC.

[@Tom-gf9js]

Strange … I had contacted TANGEM team in DEC and they wrote that I could not use more than 1 set of cards with 1 phone / app. Apparently, it does work to use multiple sets of cards per phone, as you show in this video. I must have gotten it wrong, or the TANGEM team member misunderstood my question?

[@CryptoDad]

They must have, because I have been using my app to manage three separate card sets for months now. It definitely works. I can't speak to what the person at Tangem support told you. I can only believe my "lying" eyes.

[@Vigorf]

hi crypto daddy show us how to extract the 12 word phrase if we already install the 3 cards and set new wallet with tangem

[@CryptoDad]

There is no way to do this. Once you have set up the card without the seed phrase, there is no way to add it or extract it. What you will need to do is transfer your crypto somewhere else and reset the card. Only this time, set it up as new and use the seed phrase option. I have a video on setting up the card with the seed phrase: The New Tangem Wallet: CryptoDad's Guide to Seamless Seed Phrase Backups & More!: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpqzapaLrrGjpZI

[@Andrew-mk7rm]

​@@CryptoDadAre you sure about that? That was not my experience... when I first set up my Tangem wallet and chose the no seed phrase option, right after setting it all up, I changed my mind and wanted to do it with a recovery seed phrase. So I did a full reset like you say, but when I went to make a new wallet the 2nd time around, that time it never even asked me if I wanted a seed phrase, it just went straight to the step of scanning the cards to the new wallet, without a seed phrase option. So once I chose no seed phrase the first initial time, I was stuck with only that option going forward, even after completely resetting everything and making a brand new wallet.

[@F16_viper_pilot]

@@Andrew-mk7rmYou’re talking about two different things. CryptoDad is correct that once the cards are setup if the seedphrase option was not selected then it cannot be extracted from the card. Regarding your second point about resetting the card, it absolutely is possible to put the cards back into new factory condition and recreate a new wallet with a seedphrase upon wallet creation. I tested this extensively when I got my cards.

[@daulatmiah1414]

Am I correct,if some one finds 2 of my cards they can reset the access code

[@CryptoDad]

No, they would need your access code. Even if they had all three cards

[@daulatmiah1414]

@CryptoDad I heard from another youtuber saying it. You should never put 2 cards together,if someone finds it they can change your access code

[@anticharlatan5823]

Yes, if you forget your access code the recovery process asks for a seconds card from your backup set and lets you input a new access code. That's why you should never store 2 (or 3) cards together. You can deactivate this option if you wish but you'll probably lock yourself out more likely than thwart a potential crypto thief.

[@CryptoDad]

@@anticharlatan5823 I stand corrected. I did not know about this “feature” I will check into it. It is so sad that we live in a society where no one is able to remember passwords and codes that they set up themselves.

How the heck did you get the card to be recognized by the phone so quickly? Every time I scan the card it takes multiple tries and timeouts before it recognizes my card.

[@CryptoDad]

Practice makes perfect. When I do an operation that requires the card, I wait a beat... then I bring the card to the back of the phone, perfectly parallel and I line up the top of the card with the top of the phone. Hold it steady for another beat... and then I feel the hepatics of the phone click. Then I continue to hold it there until I get the success pop-up. After a while, you will just do this without thinking.

[@F16_viper_pilot]

Hold the card closer to the top of the phone rather than the middle or bottom. The antenna has very short range and is located at the top of the phone. That should help.

[@Trevor-z7b]

Can you compare Tangem V1 vs V2?

[@CryptoDad]

The biggest difference between version 1 and version 2 is that version 2 has an optional seed phrase. This means that you can back up the wallet with a seed phrase in case something happens to your entire card set. Version one relies solely on the cards for backup. If you lose all three cards, then you lose any crypto that you have stored in the wallet.

[@NetoFerreira666]

So in an extreme case of losing the 3 cards with the seeds, can I get my funds again?!​@@CryptoDad

[@vondaniels18]

If your card is stolen, look as though you can select the assess and re-enter a different assess code on a new phone?! Then your cryptos are stolen?

[@CryptoDad]

That reset process will actually reset the entire card. So in order to regain access to the wallet, you would need to have a12/24 backup phrase written down.

[@Manoucito]

[@nucreation9833]

What if Tangem disappears or is removed from Apple App Store or Google App Store ?

[@CryptoDad]

From the Tangem support Page: What happens if the app is no longer available for download from App Store/Google Play? The previously installed app on your device will be available if the ability to download it from App Store/Google Play suddenly disappears. The app works independently of Tangem's servers and will continue to work even if the company shuts everything down. You can also always download the Tangem app on GitHub. Moreover, the Tangem app is fully open source and available on GitHub, so a replacement app can be created by anyone and used to power the card.

[@paulbruner1061]

I have Android 11 and Tangem is not compatible..

[@CryptoDad]

from the tangent support page: What are the iOS/Android technical requirements to use Tangem cards? You can use any mobile device with an Android operating system higher than 6.0 or iOS 14.5 and higher with full NFC support, except iPhone 6/6s and iPhone SE (1st generation). Please note that iPhone 7/7 Plus and some Android models do not have full NFC support, which means you cannot transfer the required amount of information during activation. In this case, making a backup of a private key on your phone is not available. You can, however, use any other phone (iPhone 8 and up or Android 6.0+ with full NFC support) to create a backup and then continue using your device. On devices with custom firmware installed (not modified by the manufacturer), the correct operation of the app is not guaranteed.
