Use the Emergency Kit

The Emergency kit contains a key that will be required in case you lose or reset the Devolutions Account password. If you forget your password, the emergency key is the only way to recover access to your Devolutions Hub Personal. The key restores the link between your Devolutions Account and your Devolutions Hub (Devolutions Hub Personal and Devolutions Hub Business).

Regular re-download of the emergency key

Devolutions does not retain the encryption keys; therefore, it is imperative to maintain a secure and reliable method for regaining access in the event of an emergency. After six months, Devolutions Hub Personal will prompt you to validate your emergency key. This allows you to verify that your current emergency key remains valid and accessible, or to generate a new one if required.
