FAQ — account and recovery
Do I need a phone number or email?
No. Accounts use a Buzzio ID and a 12-word recovery phrase created on your device. Optional @username is separate.
I lost my 12-word phrase. Can Buzzio reset it?
No. Buzzio never receives the phrase or private messaging keys.
Phrase vs backup recovery key?
- 12-word phrase restores account identity and messaging keys.
- Backup recovery key unlocks encrypted chat-history backup you chose to save.
