FAQ: Forgotten Password and No Guardian Accounts Set Up
Q: What happens if I forget my password but didn't set up guardian accounts?
A: If you haven't set up your guardian accounts for social recovery, it's impossible to reset your password if you forget it. PCM Wallet does not store your password, so it's crucial to save or back up your password securely.
Q: How can I prevent password loss in the future?
A: To prevent password loss and enhance security, set up guardian accounts. This allows for account recovery with guardian approval, ensuring you don't lose account ownership during password-related issues. Only add trusted family and friends as guardians to assist in account recovery and access.

Q: What should I do if I forget my password but didn't set up guardian accounts? Can I retrieve the PCM points earned from PCM applications before the launch of PCM Wallet?
A: If you've forgotten your password and didn't set up guardian accounts, and want to retrieve the PCM points earned from PCM applications before the launch of PCM Wallet, please follow these steps:
Request Email Unbinding (if applicable):
If you have merged your accounts with PCM and migrated your PCM points to PCM Wallet, you can request an email unbind to use a new email for account binding and PCM Wallet creation. This will allow you to retrieve PCM points from PCM applications to PCM Wallet.
Note: PCM mined from daily mining on PCM Wallet and PCM tokens migrated to PCM mainnet will not be accessible anymore if you forget your password.
Q: How do I request email unbinding?
A: To request email unbinding, send the following message along with your Pi username and PCM Wallet email to our team via the Telegram support channel: https://t.me/pichainmall/230745
