DOCS / BACKUP and RESTORE

1. Back up your account.

Before you begin using the platform, click on My Profile -> Backup

Select the Private Key option, insert your Gimmer password, click on the Export Private Key and your private key will be shown on the screen. Save it in a safe place.

Off you go! Backup of your account is now complete.
