Log in to your UnicornX account
Navigate to the "Manage Wallets" section
Click the “Export” button on the Secret phrase
The reconfirm popup will ask you to click “Export” again to obtain a verification code from your email
Enter the verification code you received from your email and Click Verify to see your Privacy Key
Please carefully store your private key as UnicornX CANNOT help you find/recover your Privacy Keys.
IMPORTANT: Please read before exporting your private key
Your private key is your most important security asset. Without it, you cannot recover your funds if you lose access to your email account.
Your private key provides complete access to your wallet and funds
Never share your private key with anyone
Do not store your private key in plain text on your computer or in cloud storage
Consider using a hardware wallet or encrypted storage solution
If someone obtains your private key, they can access and transfer all your funds
UnicornX will NEVER ask for your private key
Be wary of phishing attempts that request your private key
We recommend exporting your private key ONLY when necessary and storing it in a secure, offline location.
If your email is compromised:
IMMEDIATE ACTION: Transfer Assets
Use your backed-up private key to import your wallet into another compatible wallet (like Phantom)
Immediately transfer all assets to a new, secure wallet address
Do not wait to recover your email first - protecting your assets is the priority
Secondary Steps:
Contact UnicornX support to report the compromised account
Begin the process of securing your email account
Create a new UnicornX account with a secure email
Unexpected login notifications
Unauthorized transaction attempts
Changes to account settings you didn't make
Unable to access your email account
Remember: UnicornX uses MPC technology, but we do not store your private key. If you lose both your email access AND your private key backup, your assets cannot be recovered. Always prioritize backing up your private key securely.
