Activation

Any user can go to “restoration access” mode in case of private key loss. To activate this mode go to “Options” -> “Restoration access” and send transaction with security question and answer. This transaction encodes by admin’s public key, so question and answer can be read only by admin.

Request

In case of private key loss send access request from any account. This is available only if restoration access mode was activated.

Private key change

Admin gets opportunity to change private key only in 30 days after sending request. New private key will be given only to the user who answers the question (sent when activated) correctly.

Request cancellation

Request can be sent by malefactor to try to guess answer to the security question and get private key. To prevent this user has opportunity to cancel any request for access to user’s account. User has 30 days to make cancellation.

De-activation

User can switch to the mode “non-restoration access” anytime
