Backup docs missing a step

Open FinHorsley opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

The backup docs here don't make it clear that once kr transfer has been run, you need to re-pair the original.

I used kr transfer to create a backup on another device, but once the process had finished all the Login Requests were handled by the new backup phone. To use my daily phone i had to re-pair it.

Thanks for the tip! Are the keys still paired on the backup phone after that?

I'd have to re-investigate this as it's been a while since I played with it! From what I remember, the backup phone was still paired.

I have subsequently bought a Yubikey 5 to act as a backup, instead of a secondary phone
