My Cloud Wallet Troubleshooting
This guide covers common issues with migration, passkeys, account recovery, and the Vault in My Cloud Wallet.
Migration Problems
I see an error when I start migration
Your account may already be migrated, or the email connected to the legacy wallet may already exist in the new wallet.
Try this:
- Go to mycloudwallet.com
- Try signing in directly to the new wallet
- If needed, return to the legacy wallet at legacy.mycloudwallet.com and restart the migration flow from the migration banner
My migration stopped or failed
If the process did not finish:
- Sign back in to the legacy wallet at legacy.mycloudwallet.com
- Open the Use the New Cloud Wallet migration flow again
- Resume the migration steps
- Re-approve any legacy-wallet prompts that appear
I do not know whether my account already migrated
If you sign in to the legacy wallet at legacy.mycloudwallet.com and the account has already been migrated, the wallet should offer a direct path to the new wallet. Use that option instead of trying to migrate again.
Passkey Issues
The passkey prompt is not appearing
This is often caused by device, browser, or password manager conflicts.
Try this:
- Use a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari, or another passkey-compatible browser
- Disable competing password managers temporarily
- Retry passkey setup on the current device
- If needed, use the QR code option and create the passkey on your phone
The wrong password manager appears
My Cloud Wallet recommends using:
- Google Password Manager on Windows or Android
- iCloud Keychain on macOS or iOS
If another password manager appears first, disable it temporarily and retry.
I lost access to the device that holds my passkey
If you still have access on another trusted device, use Settings > Devices > Add Device.
If you no longer have access to any existing passkey device, use your 12-word mnemonic phrase to add a new passkey with the recovery-credentials flow.
Recovery Issues
I did not save my 12-word mnemonic phrase
The mnemonic phrase is the wallet's main recovery method. Without it, device recovery may not be possible.
If you still have access to the wallet on an existing device, sign in there and export the mnemonic from Settings > Account Security > Export Mnemonic before changing devices.
I entered the mnemonic words and recovery is not working
Check the following carefully:
- The words are in the original order
- The spelling matches exactly
- There are no extra spaces
- You are using the phrase associated with that wallet
If one word is wrong or out of order, recovery will fail.
Private Key Import Issues
The wallet says my private key is invalid
Check that:
- You copied the complete private key
- There are no leading or trailing spaces
- You are using the exported key from the legacy wallet
If the key still fails, return to the legacy wallet and verify the exported key before retrying the import.
I imported a private key and saw multiple accounts
That is expected when the same key is linked to more than one account or permission.
Review the list, select only the accounts you want, and continue. If you are unsure which account is your primary wallet, confirm the account name in the legacy wallet first.
Verification Code Issues
I did not receive the email OTP
Try this:
- Wait a few minutes
- Check spam or junk folders
- Use the wallet's Resend option
- Confirm you are checking the correct email account
The wallet asks for both 2FA and email OTP
That is expected when 2FA is enabled on the legacy wallet. Enter both codes to continue.
Vault Issues
What is the Vault?
The Vault is a persistent signing session in the new wallet. After you unlock it, later signing requests can pass through the open Vault session without asking for a passkey every time.
The Vault keeps asking me to confirm again
The Vault only stays active while its session remains open and unlocked. If the session closes, expires, or is locked again, you will need to confirm with your passkey again.
I do not want to use the Vault
You cannot disable Vault-based signing as it is required for operation of the wallet.
Security Reminders
- Store your mnemonic phrase offline
- Treat the mnemonic phrase as your main recovery secret
- Do not share your passkey, mnemonic phrase, or private keys
- Add a second recovery-ready device if you want stronger account resilience
Still Stuck?
If the issue continues after retrying the relevant steps, collect the following before contacting support or community channels:
- Whether you are using the legacy wallet or the new wallet
- Your browser and operating system
- Whether the issue is related to passkeys, migration, OTP, recovery, or Vault
- The exact step where the flow failed
