10 … | +When you use sbot for the first time a public/private key pair is generated. This cryptographic key pair is yours alone. If you lose it, it's gone forever, you start with a new identity and a new public/private key pair. Any connections you've made are lost and you have to start from zero with creating connections with others on the network. Be aware: there's no 'lost password' button to press because there is no password to lose. Your key, however, is of vital import. Protect and hold on to it for best results. |
