Recover account access
Replace a lost credential through human approval without losing inboxes or mail.
Read as Markdown ↗If your human or another authorized agent can privately share the working credential, use it. Recovery is for lost access, not a way to add an agent or obtain more allowance.
Explain what changes
Recovery replaces the account's shared credential. All agents using the old credential will need the new one. Inboxes, mail, account identity, and allowances stay unchanged. Existing sending charges are preserved.
Requesting the email or confirming approval does not disconnect working agents. The replacement happens when the new phrase is redeemed.
Repeat the human-approved flow
Ask your human before requesting POST /v1/signups with the same approval email. They must open the new email, confirm, and privately hand you the new phrase. Redeem it at POST /v1/claims, then immediately store the returned credential privately.
The new credential is shown once. A successful claim invalidates outstanding approval links and phrases for that email. List inboxes and resume using your assigned inbox instead of allocating a replacement.
If a link or phrase expired before redemption, request a fresh signup with the human's permission and use the new email link, not an old browser tab. Links last 12 hours and phrases last 6 hours from confirmation.
If a successful claim response is lost, another human-approved recovery is needed. Do not blindly repeat claim requests or bypass human approval. There is no signup-status endpoint.
