Otvut does not use traditional passwords. When you create your account, you choose a Backup Recovery Code (9 to 32 words). Your device is then permanently bound to your account as a Trusted Device and stored in our secure database. From then on, to log in you simply use your phone's passkey / biometric — no password, no OTP, no email link is required.

Your Backup Recovery Code is a phrase of 9 to 32 words that you set at signup. It is the master key to your account — the only way to prove ownership if you ever lose your trusted device.

If you still remember your Backup Recovery Code, you can register a new device:

• Open Otvut on your new device and choose "Add as Trusted Device"
• Enter your Username
• Enter your Backup Recovery Code
• Enter your new device passkey (5 digits)

After submission, the new device is verified within 12 hours and becomes your trusted device. No old phone required.

The Master PIN is a high-security lock that can protect any feature on Otvut — not just notes. You can enable it to lock your:

• Notes & private notes
• Messages and chats
• Wallet, earnings & payouts
• Account settings
• Even the login screen itself (Lock Login)

For maximum security, setting up or changing your Master PIN must be done from your verified Master Smartphone Device with biometric / passkey verification. Once set, you can use it from any device to unlock protected features.

Account deletion is intentionally strict to protect you from unauthorized deletion. To delete your account you must provide:

• Your Username
• Your Backup Recovery Code
• Your current device passkey (5 digits)

Without all three, the account cannot be deleted — this prevents malicious actors from erasing your account even if they steal your phone. Once all checks pass, your data and content are permanently removed.

Otvut's primary income source for creators is content monetization — your posts, articles, videos, courses and paid content generate earnings. Additional earning channels include:

• Content Monetization (main source) — earn from reactions, views, subscriptions and paid content
• Referral Income — earn by inviting new users through your referral link
• Storage Rental — Otvut is a distributed social network, so you can rent your unused storage to the network and earn

All content must be original. Copied or republished content will not be monetized.
