The Status app is currently in its beta stage. This means the application is still undergoing active development, and certain features described in this document may function differently or be unavailable within the app.
When you run Status for the first time, the app creates a pair of cryptographic keys representing your Status identity. Unlike centralized apps, Status doesn't rely on your username or email address to identify your profile. Instead, it uses your private and public keys.
Status doesn't know your password and can't reset it for you. If you forget
your password, you may lose access to your Status profile and wallet funds.
Remember your Status password, keep it in a safe place and don't share it with
anyone.
