Guardians are a key part of your account security on Bron. They allow you to safely recover access to your signing credentials in case of loss, device theft, or account compromise. In the future (Q1 2026), we plan to introduce crypto inheritance functionality using Guardians.
What Are Guardians?
Guardians are trusted people—friends, family members, or colleagues—whom you invite to help you recover access to your account. Guardians do not have access to your account, funds, or any sensitive information. They only play a role in the social recovery process.
Tip: Choose Guardians who are familiar with digital security and crypto. You should also be able to reach them directly via phone, messenger, or in person—this is important to confirm that recovery requests really come from you.
How Does the Guardian System Work?
1. Invite Guardians
Choose two people and send them an invite via email.
Each Guardian must activate their Bron account by registering.
2. Activation and Security Delay
Once activated, each Guardian is subject to a 48-hour security delay.
During this delay, recovery via that Guardian is disabled.
3. Assigning Roles
You can assign one of two types of roles to a Guardian:
Guardian-only role: the Guardian will not have access to your workspace, balances, accounts, or transactions.
Workspace user: you can also assign an existing workspace user (Owner, Member, or Viewer) as a Guardian.
4. Day-to-Day
In normal use, Guardians don’t need to take any action—they simply need to keep their Bron passkey secure.
How Recovery Works
If you lose access to your account or signing credentials:
Step 1: Start Recovery
You initiate the Guardian recovery process from the Bron app.
Step 2: Guardians Are Notified
Each Guardian receives an email notification that you’ve started a recovery.
Step 3: Guardians Log In
Each Guardian logs into their Bron account and sees a recovery code in their interface.
⚠️ Bron does not send recovery codes via email—codes are only visible after login.
❗️Before sharing the code with you, Guardians should verify that it was really you who initiated the recovery.
Step 4: You Enter the Codes
Once both Guardians send you their codes, you enter them into the recovery interface in Bron.
Step 5: Security Delay Starts
A 48-hour recovery delay is activated to protect your account.
Step 6: Finalize Recovery
After the delay, you can proceed to restore your signing access.
