All information required to access WX Network accounts associated with Emails is stored centrally and cannot be restored if you delete your email account. At the same time, the information required to access your Seed accounts is stored on your device (PC or smartphone) in encrypted form and can also be deleted (as a result of a device breakdown, browser failure, or accidental deletion of an account/application from the device), but it can be restored. Therefore, this article describes the process of restoring a Seed account.
