Follow this guide to configure cloud-based recovery of embedded wallets in the Privy Dashboard.

Google Drive

To enable Google Drive recovery for your app, you must also enable Google as a social login method. To do so, follow the guidance here.

When enabling Google as a login method, we strongly recommend that you configure your own OAuth credentials, as these credentials cannot be changed once Google Drive recovery is enabled. We strongly recommend that you configure your own credentials before enabling Google Drive as a login method.

TIP

After creating your own Google OAuth credentials, you must enable the Google Drive API on your OAuth app to use Google Drive-based recovery.

After setting up Google as a login method and configure your own OAuth credentials, visit the Embedded wallets page of the Dashboard. In the Recovery tab, enable Google Drive as a user-managed recovery option.

iCloud
