What if you had a fortune you could never get your hands on?
What if the only thing standing between you and your millions was a forgotten password?
That’s a painful reality for some cryptocurrency owners.
They can’t access their digital wallets because they can’t remember their passwords. And because cryptocurrency is encrypted, these passwords can’t be reset. They also strictly limit how many times someone can try a password.1
If you try too many wrong passwords and hit the limit, you’ll be locked out of your account — forever.1
This nightmare situation isn’t a small problem.
Nearly 4 million bitcoins are in stranded or locked digital wallets. That’s about 1 in every 5 bitcoins … or roughly the equivalent of $140 billion.1
And it’s just one risk you could be taking with a cryptocurrency investment.
