How to Get Started & Sign In
If you’re new to Exodus, start by downloading the official wallet for your platform — visit the Exodus website and choose Desktop or Mobile. After installing, Exodus will guide you through creating a new wallet: set a strong password and write down your 12- or 24-word recovery phrase. This recovery phrase is the single most important piece of information for accessing your funds — store it offline in a secure place.
To sign in on desktop, open the Exodus application, enter your password, and you’ll have immediate access. On mobile, use your app passcode or biometric unlock if enabled. If you prefer to migrate an existing wallet, choose the “Restore” option and input your recovery phrase to regain access.
Security Best Practices
Exodus is a non-custodial wallet — you control your private keys. That also means security is primarily your responsibility. Follow these best practices:
- Always download Exodus from the official download page. Avoid third-party downloads or links.
- Enable a strong password and change it regularly. Use a password manager to generate and store complex passwords.
- Write your recovery phrase on paper (or a metal backup) and store it in a secure location — never store it digitally in plain text or take photos of it.
- Enable biometric unlock on mobile for convenience and an additional barrier to unauthorized access.
- Keep your computer and phone OS up to date to reduce exposure to malware.
- Use hardware wallet integration (like Trezor) for larger holdings to combine convenience with enhanced security.
What to Do If You Can’t Log In
If you forget your password, Exodus does not store or have access to your password — but you can restore your wallet using your recovery phrase. Head to the Exodus Support Center for step-by-step instructions on restoring your wallet on desktop or mobile.
Important: if you lose both your device and your recovery phrase, there is no way for Exodus or any third party to restore your funds. That’s why careful, offline storage of the recovery phrase is essential. If you suspect your device is compromised, move funds to a new wallet whose seed phrase you control.
Advanced: Cross-Platform Access & Synchronization
Exodus wallets are deterministic — the same recovery phrase will restore your wallet across platforms. You can sign in to Exodus on multiple devices by restoring with the same recovery phrase. Note that balances and transaction history are derived from the blockchain and will update automatically after restore. For security-conscious users, consider using hardware wallet support; Exodus integrates with certain hardware devices to keep private keys offline while still using Exodus’ interface.
Built-in Exchange & Integrations
One of Exodus’ strengths is the built-in exchange feature that lets you swap assets without leaving the wallet. This is convenient for quick moves, but be mindful of fees and slippage — compare rates if you plan large trades. For deeper research, Exodus links to educational resources and blog posts. Explore official learning materials on the Exodus Blog to learn about tokens, updates, and new integrations.
Troubleshooting Common Login Issues
Here are quick fixes for common problems:
- App won’t open: Reinstall from the official download and restart your device.
- Restore not working: Make sure your recovery phrase words are correct and in the right order. Exodus supports specific seed phrase lengths — follow the guide in the restore article.
- Transactions not showing: Check blockchain explorers and ensure your app is synced; reconnect to the network if needed.

For detailed how-to guides, security updates, and troubleshooting, visit the Exodus Support Center. Exodus also offers community resources, FAQs, and articles that cover setup, security, and advanced wallet features.

Extra Resources & Further Reading
If you’re new to cryptocurrency, educational websites like Investopedia or news sites like CoinDesk can help you understand blockchain basics, token economics, and market risks. Always cross-check advice and verify links before entering sensitive wallet information.
Using Exodus responsibly — with strong passwords, offline seed storage, and updated software — keeps your digital assets safe and accessible whenever you need them.
