In order to back up your users's private keys, the e3kit method eThree.backupPrivateKey() requires a password in string format to properly secure it in Virgil services. However, password authentication might be optional or nonexistent in your app.
To still still accomplish this, a password can be made out of three secret questions to be selected and answered by the user. For example:
- In what city was your first job? New York.
- How was your first pet called? Pluto.
- What was your favorite food as a child? Pizza.
In this case, the selected questions and answers can be concatenated and normalized in lowercase to be used as a password for the backup:
"jobtown:newyork+firstpet:pluto+childfood:pizza"The process of backing up private keys is explained for each language in our documentation: https://developer.virgilsecurity.com/docs/use-cases/v5/encrypted-communication#whats-next
