Cant Verify (False Device limit)

@poz Not at all, you’re misunderstanding a few things. First off is that when you said you have uninstalled/reinstalled Brave, then this means you created a new wallet that you linked. This was seen as a new device. Each instance of the browser you put on any device at all has its own unique encryption code and is registered by Brave as a “device.”

When you did a Restore or uninstalled Brave, you then “changed” devices and then attached it to your Uphold/Gemini account. Once you have 4 browsers/devices linked to it, you no longer was able to add more. They did introduce the Wallet unlinking request form you could fill out to have one of the old devices/browsers removed from that. You can read a bit more about it at Unable to re-verify wallet - #118 by Mattches

This part said, they are also implementing better self management for wallet limits. You can track the status of that at https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/18572

It’s assumed they will get it ready at the end of March and be available to us in April, if not sooner. But we’re waiting to see if any issues or what happens.

Regardless, you’ve not lost anything and you still have solutions.
