# Store Your Backup Password Safely

Keep you cloud backup secure and never lose access to it.

### 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 following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

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

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `build a script that syncs our docs to a CMS` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
