*Step 2: Change PIN*

### 3. Erase

Giving this device away? Erase everything removes every code and the key that protects them. It cannot be undone — only your backup file can bring the codes back.

*Step 3: Erase*

### 4. Forgot PIN

And if you ever forget your PIN, lock the app and choose I have forgotten my PIN. Your codes can then only come back from your backup file — which is why that backup matters.
