# Migrate to the New My Cloud Wallet
7+
8+
This guide covers how to move from the legacy WAX Cloud Wallet to the new My Cloud Wallet experience that uses passkeys for sign-in and a 12-word mnemonic phrase for recovery.
9+
10+
## Before You Start
11+
12+
Before starting the migration:
13+
14+
- Make sure you can still sign in to your legacy wallet at [legacy.mycloudwallet.com](https://legacy.mycloudwallet.com)
15+
- Use a supported browser and device for passkeys
16+
- Temporarily disable other password managers if they interfere with passkey prompts
17+
- Be ready to save recovery information securely before continuing
18+
19+
Go to [mycloudwallet.com](https://www.mycloudwallet.com) and select **Migrate your account from legacy wallet**. The migration flow will send you to the legacy wallet at [legacy.mycloudwallet.com](https://legacy.mycloudwallet.com) to authenticate.
20+
21+
After signing in to the legacy wallet, you will see two paths:
22+
23+
- **Migrate account to new wallet**: Recommended for most users
24+
- **Advanced account claiming**: For users who want direct control of their keys through Soft Claim or Hard Claim
25+
26+
For most users, choose **Migrate account to new wallet**.
27+
28+
## Step 1: Create Your Passkey
29+
30+
The new wallet uses a passkey instead of a password. Your passkey is protected by your device, such as Face ID, Touch ID, fingerprint, or PIN.
31+
32+
You can create the passkey in one of two ways:
33+
34+
- **Create passkey on this device**: Best if you want the passkey saved locally or through your device's supported password manager
35+
- **Use phone with QR code**: Best if you want the passkey stored on your phone
36+
37+
If the browser shows the wrong password manager or the prompt fails, disable competing password managers and try again.
38+
39+
## Step 2: Choose Your Migration Path
40+
41+
After the passkey is set up, the wallet will ask how to migrate your account.
42+
43+
Choose the path that matches your situation:
44+
45+
- **Claim & Migrate**: Use this if you never exported your private key from the legacy wallet
46+
- **Import account with private key**: Use this if you already exported your private key from the legacy wallet
47+
48+
## Path A: Claim and Migrate
49+
50+
This is the most common path for users coming from the legacy wallet.
51+
52+
### 1. Back Up Your 12-Word Mnemonic Phrase
53+
54+
The wallet will generate a 12-word mnemonic phrase. This is your master recovery phrase.
55+
56+
- Write it down in the correct order
57+
- Store it offline in a secure place
58+
- Do not save it in screenshots, notes apps, or cloud storage
59+
60+
Select **Next** after you have stored it securely.
61+
62+
### 2. Confirm the Mnemonic Phrase
63+
64+
You will be asked to enter 3 of the 12 words to confirm your backup.
65+
66+
- Enter each requested word in the correct numbered field
67+
- The confirmation button stays disabled until all required words are correct
68+
69+
### 3. Save Your Owner and Active Keys
70+
71+
The migration flow also generates your blockchain keys:
72+
73+
- **Owner Key**
74+
- **Active Key**
75+
76+
Back up both before continuing. These are separate from your mnemonic phrase and should also be stored securely.
77+
78+
### 4. Approve the Connection Request
79+
80+
A Cloud Wallet pop-up will appear asking you to approve a login request. Approve it so the new wallet can connect to your WAX account.
81+
82+
### 5. Approve the Migration Transaction
83+
84+
A second pop-up will appear for the on-chain migration transaction.
85+
86+
- Review the request
87+
- Approve each transaction shown
88+
- Some accounts may require two approvals
89+
90+
### 6. Complete OTP Verification
91+
92+
The wallet may ask for verification codes:
93+
94+
- If 2FA is not enabled, enter the email OTP
95+
- If 2FA is enabled, enter both the 2FA code and the email OTP
96+
97+
If the email code does not arrive, use **Resend** and check your spam folder.
98+
99+
### 7. Wait for Migration to Finish
100+
101+
The wallet will show a migration progress screen, then redirect you to the new dashboard.
102+
103+
When complete, your account name, balances, and assets should appear in the new wallet.
104+
105+
## Path B: Import with a Private Key
106+
107+
Use this path only if you already exported your private key from the legacy wallet.
108+
109+
### 1. Enter Your Private Key
110+
111+
Paste your private key into the import form.
112+
113+
- If the key is valid, the confirmation button becomes available
114+
- If the wallet says the key is invalid, re-check the key and try again
115+
116+
### 2. Select the Accounts to Import
117+
118+
The wallet will load all accounts associated with that key.
119+
120+
- Select the account or accounts you want to import
121+
- Use **Select All** if needed
122+
- Continue to the next step
123+
124+
### 3. Confirm the Import
125+
126+
Review the list of selected accounts and confirm the import. The wallet will migrate the selected accounts and redirect you to the new dashboard.
127+
128+
## After Migration
129+
130+
Once migration is complete, review the following:
131+
132+
- Confirm you can sign in with your passkey
133+
- Confirm your account name and balances are visible
134+
- Confirm your mnemonic phrase is stored safely offline
135+
- Consider adding another device later using your mnemonic phrase
136+
137+
## Advanced Path: Soft Claim and Hard Claim
138+
139+
During migration, legacy users may also see advanced claiming options:
140+
141+
- **Soft Claim**: Keeps some My Cloud Wallet integration while giving you more key control
142+
- **Hard Claim**: Transfers full key ownership to you and removes My Cloud Wallet custody
143+
144+
These options are meant for advanced users. If you are unsure, use the standard migration path instead.
145+
146+
## Common Migration Issues
147+
148+
- **Account already migrated**: Sign in directly at [mycloudwallet.com](https://www.mycloudwallet.com)
149+
- **Email already exists in the new wallet**: Try signing in to the new wallet first instead of restarting migration
150+
- **Passkey prompt does not appear**: Disable other password managers and retry
151+
- **Migration fails partway through**: Sign back in to the legacy wallet at [legacy.mycloudwallet.com](https://legacy.mycloudwallet.com) and resume from the migration banner
152+
