Don’t use your FC wallet keys in other wallets. 

If you get compromised, there is no way to rotate the wallet with our key storage model today. 

It’s ok to export your keys and put in a password manager, or to send funds out to another wallet.

As a newly compromised wallet user, I am once again asking for your support to ship rotatable Warplets in the near future.

I know it's not gonna happen overnight for multiple reasons, but if you could put it on the radar it'd be awesome.

Is it Farcasters fault we got scammed like fools? 
No. Totally our own responsibility and fault.

But is it fair that victims of theft continue their Farcaster journey with a permanently compromised wallet? No. Give us a chance to restart without having to resort to abandoning their carefully grown account.

Your consideration is super appreciated.

I am definitely self aware it's my fault and also that technical work is required. So not being pushy, but quietly optimistic it gets implemented in 2025 :) Thank you for your compassion & understanding Linda 🫶

Really sorry to hear about that, it's on our list for the future but it is a significant amount of technical work so in the meantime we just try to remind users to be extra careful when handling their wallet keys (I know not ideal)

That’s really lucky you didn’t get drained.  Seems odd they can’t rotate wallets, sure it’ll get fixed at some point soon.

Remind myself: Nothing good happens at 3am.

I was lucky it was an amateur operation and that it wasn't AI operated.
Seeds gone but I had enough time to take all my assets out.
Warplet is a public wallet now tho.

It's self serving that I am advocating for this now since I'm fresh on the victims list, but I figure, join the bandwagon now so future victims can quickly recover and get back on the farcaster bus with peace of mind.

Oh no, sorry you got compromised 🤦‍♂️
