Setup with Private Key

If you have your private key and wish to use it, you may do so by ticking the "Private Key" checkbox and provide the private key in the newly enabled field. Once provided, agree to the ProximaX Notes Terms by ticking the checkbox then click OK button.

If in case you have a private key but lost it, you can still recover it if you have agreed to save it in ProximaX Central Data and setup your security questions. To proceed, just click the icon beside the Private Key field to display the Recovery form. Just fill out the form then click Recover button to start recovery process. If validated correct, you will receive an email about your private key and account details.

Setup without Private Key

If you don't have a private key, just leave the "Private Key" checkbox unchecked then agree to the ProximaX Notes Terms by ticking the checkbox. You can then click the OK button to access the app. When doing this step, the system will generate a new private key for you which you need to keep safe so you can recover your account anytime.
