For those who created their Picnic wallet via Email or Google, we've prepared a guide on how to perform a secure backup simply.

Remember: those who have already created a Picnic wallet linked to an external wallet will not have a private key because the key is the same as the external wallet itself.

### **Who is this guide for?**

-   People who have **funds on a blockchain not yet supported by Picnic.**
    
-   Those who sent an **unsupported token and need to manage it.**
    
-   Those who want a **“plan B” in case they lose access to the login email and/or if Picnic ceases to exist.**
    

**Very Important Precautions**

Anyone who has access to your private key can move all your funds.  
  
**Write it down on paper** (or use a reliable password manager), keep it away from screenshots or notepads, and **never** share it via chat or email.  

## **What you will need**

\- \[Rabby Wallet Extension\](https://rabby.io/) installed on Chrome, Brave, or Edge  
\- Paper and pen **or** an offline password manager  
\- 5 minutes of full attention — no rush!

## **Step by Step**

### **1\. Export the Private Key in Picnic**

1\. Click on your avatar (top right corner) → Security → Export Private Key.

2\. Follow the flow and copy the key (starts with \`0x\` and has 64 characters).  
3\. Write it down on paper or paste it into the password manager immediately.

### **2\. Copy Your Picnic Smart Wallet Address (Safe)**

\- Still in Picnic, go to \*\*Deposit Crypto\*\* and select an asset.  
\- Copy the address that appears below, which starts with \`0x\` and has \*\*42 characters\*\*.  
**\> Tip: it is different from the private key; think of it as an “account number.”**

### **3\. Import the Private Key into Rabby**

1\. Open the Rabby extension → click on Import → Private Key.  
2\. Paste the private key copied in step 1.  
3\. Give it an easy name (“Picnic Account – Key”) and finish.

### **4\. Add Your** _**Picnic Safe**_ **to Rabby**

1\. In Rabby, go to your accounts section, click on Add New Address → Connect Institutional Wallet→ Safe.  
2\. Paste the Safe address (42 characters) from step 2.  
3\. Name it “Picnic Safe.”

### **5\. Test if Everything Worked**

\> Good practice: send a small test amount (e.g., $1 in ETH) to the Safe and try to move it via Rabby. Only then move larger amounts.

### **Quick Checklist:**

\- \[ \] Private key imported?  
\- \[ \] Safe added?  
\- \[ \] Balance appears in the extension?  
\- \[ \] Test transaction confirmed in the explorer?

Done! You can use the Picnic Smart Wallet in any compatible dApp and sleep better knowing you have a backup outside the platform.
