Introduction

Trust Wallet is a popular decentralized cryptocurrency wallet that allows users to store, manage, and trade digital assets securely. However, losing access to your wallet—whether due to a lost device, forgotten password, or accidental deletion—can be stressful. Fortunately, Trust Wallet provides multiple recovery options.
