If you've forgotten the PIN used to unlock your Blockstream wallet, don't worry, you can still regain access as long as you have your 12-word recovery phrase.
The PIN is a security feature used to protect access to the wallet on your device, but it does not affect your actual Bitcoin funds or your recovery phrase.
How to reset your PIN
- Delete or uninstall the Blockstream app from your device.
- Reinstall the app from the official source (Google Play, App Store, or APK).
- Open the app and choose "Restore Wallet".
- Enter your 12-word recovery phrase to recover your wallet.
- During the restoration process, you’ll be able to set a new PIN.
Important: If you do not have your recovery phrase, you will not be able to reset the PIN or regain access to your wallet. Blockstream cannot recover your funds without the recovery phrase.
For added security, store your recovery phrase in a secure, offline location and avoid saving it on digital devices.
