Why Exodus Cannot Reset Your Password
Exodus is a self-custody wallet. Your password encrypts the wallet on your device, and the company never sees it. That keeps your coins safe from hackers, but it means nobody at Exodus can let you in. Exodus explains this in its support center.
Exodus wallet recovery therefore relies on the phrase, an old backup or the wallet data still on your device.
Common Exodus Situations
- Forgot the desktop password after an update
- Phrase written down with one word unclear
- New computer, old one still in a drawer
- Phone reset but desktop app still installed
