How to Reset Forgotten Access Code in Tangem Wallet

If you have forgotten the access code for one or all of your Tangem cards, you can easily reset it in the Tangem app. 

When resetting an access code, you must have another backup card to confirm the code reset. Therefore, you'll require two cards to reset your access code— the card whose access code you want to change and an additional card from your backup set for confirmation.

To change an access code in Tangem Wallet, read this guide.

The new Tangem Wallet allows you to disable access code reset with a backup card. Here's a quick guide on turning off access code recovery.

Here's how to reset a forgotten access code:

1. Open the the Tangem app and tap Scan card on the Setup or Welcome page.
