Unfortunately, you cannot recover your Guarda Wallet without a backup file and password. Since Guarda is a non-custodial wallet, only you have access to your private keys — not even Guarda’s team can help restore access if both are lost. However, there may still be limited options depending on your specific case.

What Is a Guarda Wallet Backup File?

When you create a new Guarda Wallet, the app prompts you to download a backup file — typically a .txt file — that contains your encrypted private keys. This file, together with the password you set, is required to restore your wallet on any device.

This is part of what makes Guarda Wallet secure: you are the sole owner of your crypto keys.

Can You Recover Guarda Wallet Without a Backup File?

You Can Recover If:

• You still have the backup file, even if it's on another device or in cloud storage.
• You remember your password and can locate an older exported file.

You Cannot Recover If:

• You’ve lost both the backup file and password.
• You didn’t export or save your backup file during the wallet setup.
• You deleted or corrupted the file and don’t have a copy.

In those cases, your funds are unrecoverable, as no one — not even Guarda’s support — can decrypt or access your wallet.

What to Do If You’ve Lost Your Guarda Backup File

If you’re trying to recover Guarda Wallet and the backup file is missing, try these steps:

1. Search Your Devices

• Check your downloads folder or external drives
• Look in cloud backups (Google Drive, iCloud, Dropbox)
• Look for .txt or .json files with names like guarda_wallet_backup.txt

2. Use File Recovery Software
If you suspect the file was deleted, a file recovery program might help retrieve it — before it gets overwritten.

3. Try to Recall Password Variants
If you think the file is corrupted but have the right password, services like Crypto Recovers may help reconstruct your backup.

4. Contact Guarda Wallet Customer Service
While Guarda can’t restore your wallet without your backup, they can verify your wallet activity or guide you in recovery efforts.
 

When to Use a Crypto Wallet Recovery Service

If you have:

• A partial backup file
• An incomplete mnemonic phrase
• A few possible passwords

A crypto wallet recovery service may use advanced tools to recover or decrypt your Guarda Wallet. However, you’ll need to provide some piece of valid information for them to work with.

Warning:
Avoid scams. Always research a recovery service before sharing sensitive data.

Why Backup Matters in Guarda Wallet
Because Guarda is non-custodial, it doesn’t store your keys. While this means better privacy and control, it also means full responsibility lies with the user.

When creating or updating your wallet, always:

• Save your backup file in at least two secure locations
• Use a strong but memorable password
• Consider encrypting and backing up the file in offline storage

FAQ: Recovering Guarda Wallet Without Backup File

Can I restore Guarda Wallet with just my password?
No. The password alone is not enough. You also need the encrypted backup file to recover your wallet.

Can Guarda customer service restore my wallet?
No. Guarda does not store your private keys and cannot access your funds. Support can only assist with general guidance.

Is there any way to recover Guarda Wallet without a backup file?
Only if you have partial data or potential passwords and use a wallet recovery service. Full recovery without any backup data is not possible.

Final Thoughts
Losing access to your Guarda Wallet without a backup file is serious — and often permanent. That’s the trade-off for security and full control in non-custodial crypto wallets.
