# Store Your Backup Password Safely ### Backup Password Safety Tips Your cloud backup file is protected with a password. This password cannot be recovered; if you forget it, you'll have to [create a new backup](/nova-wallet-wiki/settings/backup/manage-your-cloud-backup.md) or use [other recovery options](/nova-wallet-wiki/wallet-management/import-an-existing-wallet.md). It's essential that your backup password is always available to you and secret from others. Here are our recommendations: * Do not reuse the password for other websites or apps as your backup password. * Do not even create a password yourself. Use a dedicated password manager app: it can generate a random, strong, and unique password that you don't have to remember. * Make sure that you remember your master password for the password manager app. Check what other security options your app provides. * Make sure that your Google Drive or iCloud is also well-protected. Consider updating your passwords and enabling 2-factor authentication for them. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
