How to add extra Recovery Tags
Key Takeaways
Adding extra Recovery Tags in different locations means you're always within reach of a recovery option, no matter what happens to one of them.
- Each additional tag gives you an independent 50% backup piece — losing one doesn't affect the others.
- Store tags in different locations: home, office, safe deposit box, or a trusted family member's place.
- There's no limit to how many tags you can add. Extra tags are available at ryder.id.
Why add more Recovery Tags
Your Ryder One comes with one Recovery Tag. That's enough to get started, but a single tag in a single location is a single point of failure. If it's lost, stolen, or damaged, your only remaining option is your phone's cloud backup.
Adding extra tags in separate locations gives you redundancy without complexity — if one tag is unavailable, you still have another path to recover.
Step 1: Get an extra Recovery Tag
Order additional Recovery Tags at ryder.id/products/ryder-recovery-tag. They're available in packs of two.
Step 2: Open TapSafe in the app
In the Ryder app, go to [VERIFY: Settings → Backup & Recovery → Add Recovery Tag].
Step 3: Tap the new tag on your Ryder One
Hold the new Recovery Tag against the back of your Ryder One when prompted. The device writes an encrypted backup piece to the tag — this takes about 5 seconds.
Step 4: Store the tag in a new location
Place the new tag somewhere separate from your first one — a second property, your office, a trusted family member's home, or a safe deposit box.
Frequently asked questions
How many tags can I add?
There's no limit. Add as many as makes sense for your lifestyle and risk tolerance.
Does each tag hold the same information?
Yes — each tag holds the same encrypted backup piece. Losing one doesn't expose any information from the others.
What if someone steals a tag?
A stolen tag is useless on its own. It only becomes useful combined with 50% more — either your phone or another Recovery Tag. Someone holding only your tag cannot access your wallet.
