Troubleshooting

My device has a camera, but scanning doesn't work. What should I do?

If you don't see the option to scan the QR code with your device's camera, it is because your wallet already contains funds.

If your wallet contains funds, you will not see the option to scan a QR code. Instead, you will be shown the sync QR code for that wallet. Remember, you can only sync a funded wallet with an empty wallet.

All you need to do is send all of your crypto from one wallet to the other, to ensure only one wallet has crypto in it, then follow the relevant steps above!

My device doesn’t have a camera. What should I do?

If your current computer does not have a webcam or camera, you can still sync your wallets using your funded wallet's 12-word secret recovery phrase.

Make sure you have absolutely no crypto inside of Exodus on the computer without a webcam you are trying to sync to. This process will overwrite your current Exodus wallet on this device.
