# 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.

## 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.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.novawallet.io/nova-wallet-wiki/settings/backup/store-your-backup-password-safely.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
