Your story. Your scholarship. Your teaching. Your privacy.
We live in a world where people are constantly trying to get their hands on information that doesn't belong to them.
Your words should not be theirs for the taking.
That's why we're designing The Sleepless Poet around a 12-word recovery phrase, something we call your Manuscript Key.
Here's the important part.
If a secure recovery-key system is introduced later, the app may offer 12 randomly generated recovery words. You'll write them down in their original order, confirm you've recorded them, and then create a password for everyday sign-in.
A future recovery system would require careful security design and testing. Today's live accounts use email links instead of passwords or recovery phrases. You won't need to enter your recovery phrase every time you sign in.
So write them down. Put them somewhere safe. A locked drawer, a home safe, or a safe-deposit box. Somewhere you can find them, but someone else cannot.
Don't share them. Don't email them to yourself. Don't enter them on an unexpected page or give them to anyone claiming to provide support.
Keep this in mind: If you lose both your password and your Manuscript Key, you may permanently lose access to your account and anything protected by it. No application can guarantee it will never be hacked; a recovery phrase is one layer of security, not a guarantee.
We believe protecting your writing, your research, your teaching, and the stories you've carried with you deserves more than an afterthought.
After all, everybody has a story.
Let's do everything we reasonably can to keep yours in your hands.
— The Sleepless Poet
