5️⃣ Backup

Backup data is no longer the recommended approach to perform account recovery. The recommended flow is using the temporary state. Follow the guide on account recovery.

Back up your user's data so you can restore their Keyless account when necessary.

Create a backup (not recommended)

Create backups after authentication, and push them into your backup system. Each backup is encrypted with aes-gcm using the backupKey as symmetric key. You need both backupData and backupKey to restore an account with Keyless.

Android

val configuration = AuthenticationConfiguration.builder
   .retrievingBackup()
   .build()

Keyless.authenticate(
    authenticationConfiguration = configuration,
    onCompletion = { authResult ->
        when (authResult) {
            is Keyless.KeylessResult.Success -> {
                // use the backup
                val backup: KeylessBackup? = authResult.value.backup
            }
            is Keyless.KeylessResult.Failure -> Log.d("KeylessSDK ", "Authentication failure - error code ${result.error.code}")
        }
    }
)

iOS

let authenticationConfiguration = Keyless.AuthenticationConfiguration.builder
    .retrievingBackup()
    .build()

Keyless.authenticate(authenticationConfiguration: authenticationConfiguration) { result in
    switch result {
    case .success(let authenticationSuccess):
        // Handle your backup system logic
        print("Retrieve data for backup successful")
        print("Backup data: \(authenticationSuccess.backup?.data)")
        print("Backup key: \(authenticationSuccess.backup?.key)")
    case .failure(let error):
        // Handle error and display an error to the user.
        print("Retrieve data for backup failed with error: \(error.message)")
    }
}

Flutter

// Create enrollment configuration with backup
final configuration = BiomAuthConfig(retrieveBackup: true);

try {
    final result = await Keyless.instance.authenticate(configuration);
    print("Backup retrieved successfully");
} catch (error) {
    print("Backup retrieval failed: $error");
}

Restore from a backup (not recommended)

Restore the user account by providing backupData and backupKey to the withBackup method:

Android

val configuration = EnrollmentConfiguration.builder
  .withBackup(
    backupKey = backupKey,
    backupData = backupData
  )
  .build()


Keyless.enroll(
  enrollmentConfiguration = configuration,
  onCompletion = { result ->
    when (result) {
      is Keyless.KeylessResult.Success -> Log.d("KeylessSDK ", "Enroll success - userId ${result.value.keylessId}")
      is Keyless.KeylessResult.Failure -> Log.d("KeylessSDK ", "Enroll failure - error code ${result.error.code}")
    }
  })

iOS

let enrollmentConfiguration = Keyless.EnrollmentConfiguration.builder
    .withBackup(Keyless.Backup(data: backupData, key: backupKey))
    .build()

Keyless.enroll(enrollmentConfiguration: enrollmentConfiguration) { result in
    switch result {
    case .success(let enrollmentSuccess):
        print("Enrollment from backup finished successfully")
    case .failure(let error):
        print("Enrollment from backup finished with error: \(error.message)")
    }
}

Flutter

// Create enrollment configuration with backup
final configuration = BiomEnrollConfig(
    backup: KeylessBackup(
        data: backupData,
        key: backupKey
    )
);

try {
    final result = await Keyless.instance.enroll(configuration);
    print("Enrollment from backup successful");
} catch (error) {
    print("Enrollment from backup failed: $error");
}
