✨ Once you have downloaded Envoy, simply choose Enable Magic Backups.

Envoy will then:

1. Create your seed

2. Store it in your phone’s secure element

3. Encrypt your seed

4. Back up your seed and metadata automatically

Simple and quick to set up. Let’s dive into the details!

✨ Envoy generates a seed and stores it on your phone’s secure element while your envoy settings, accounts, and labels are encrypted using your private key.

The encrypted seed is uploaded to your iCloud or Android Auto Backup account in a fully end-to-end encrypted manner.

NO data can be read by Foundation, Apple, or Google at any time. Gain more context by watching our explainer video here:

✨Envoy then creates an "Envoy Backup" file containing your app settings, account labels, and other non-sensitive app data so that Envoy can be restored to its exact previous state.

This folder is end-to-end encrypted with your seed so that we can never see the contents.

✨The fully encrypted Envoy Backup is uploaded to Foundation’s servers, alongside a hash of the seed (a cryptographic representation of the seed that proves your knowledge of the seed, not the seed itself!) so that we can ensure no one else can attempt to download your backup.

✨There is no Foundation user account, no email, no password – all you need is access to your iCloud or Google account to access your backup.

Already have a seed phrase you want to use or simply want to back up your seed manually?

Both of those fully self-sovereign paths have first-class support, with a secure, easy, and intuitive seed phrase entry flow or the ability to let Envoy generate a new seed for you.

✨Now that you know how Magic Backups work, you're ready to take charge of your Bitcoin self-custody journey. No more barriers — empower yourself to secure your Bitcoin the right way.

Have friends and family that are turned off by the concept of writing down and backing up seed words?

There's no better alternative solution than Magic Backups in Envoy, and you can easily help them grow into a fully self-sovereign setup over time w/ Passport.

For the more technical users:

One of my favorite things about our approach at nostr:npub1s0vtkgej33n7ec4d7ycxmwt78up8hpfa30d0yfksrshq7t82mchqynpq6j is giving users the tools to slowly increase the sovereignty of their stack over time, so you can start with the simplest approach and gradually improve your setup as you learn more without needing to switch to other apps or hardware.

You more advanced users can leverage one of the best parts of Magic Backups (app data backups) while bringing your own seed to Envoy or letting Envoy generate one for you.

Simply pick the manual flow when you setup Envoy then you can export the Envoy Backup file anytime after setup with a tap (encrypted by your seed automatically!) and store it on your own computer, encrypted cloud storage, etc.

Whenever you need to restore Envoy, just enter your seed phrase and Envoy will prompt you to select an Envoy Backup file, automatically decrypt it with your seed, and restore Envoy exactly back to the state it was in when you backed it up.

✅ All accounts restored

✅ All history restored

✅ All settings restored

I do this currently with a child seed derived from Passport Key Manager extension (foundationdevices.com/2023/05/all-yo…) and store my Envoy Backup file on my self-hosted Nextcloud instance. All I have to do is keep Passport properly backed up and I can restore Envoy from scratch anytime, anywhere.
