Users receive a recovery phrase for backup, which they can use to restore their wallet in MEW or any other BIP39-compatible wallet.

Please describe the measures taken to ensure the wallet's security and provide documentation wherever possible

• We store keys locally on the device, using multi-layered encryption with the use of secure enclave chip on the device + local Keychain (iOS) or Android Keystore. Keys are only fully decrypted at the time the user needs to execute a transaction or sign a message, and locked immediately after.
• Our product is open source and these methods are verifiable: https://github.com/mewwallet.
• All MEW Mobile developers are required to be part of our organization and have 2FA enabled.
• We are partnered with HackenProof for penetration testing, information here: https://hackenproof.com/programs/myetherwallet
• In addition to technical efforts and openness of the code, we take every opportunity to educate the user about security and safety, with educational materials available directly in the app, as well as on Help Center and blog.
