The Brave Team will never ask you for your recovery phrase or private key.
Description of the issue:
Is the issue occurring on a specific network? no
What operating system are you using? Mac OS Sonoma
Brave Version (check About Brave): Latest, just downloaded
Additional Information: I delete the app and reboot and reinstall. It STILL ask me for the recovery password. I just want to start over, becuse the first installation was a test.
Usually there’s an option when you uninstall that says to also delete history and/or settings. If you don’t choose this, then your user data will be left on the device.
I’d be curious to see the screen you’re on. Assuming it’s on your old profile, it would ask for password and not for recovery phrase.
All of that aside, you just go to Brave’s Settings and then to Web3. Then click on Reset and clear Wallet data. This erases current wallet and everything in it, where you start fresh.
yes, what you suggest is the first I tried. I reset it in Web3. When I start up a brand new installation, it asks for the password. So, basically I cannot create a new Web 3 wallet.
Solved it. I entered “yes” instead og “Yes” when resetting the wallet. In my opinion I should have gotten a message informing me about case sensitivity.
