# Recovery Key

During Initial Setup, JEMPass will display your Recovery Key. Your Recovery Key is a string of 37 characters that begins with "JEM-RK-" and is followed by 30 characters. Write it down and keep it in a safe place. 

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Save your Recovery Key in a safe place!** You’ll need your Recovery Key to regain access to your JEMPass Account and Keychain if all your JEM AirKeys are lost, stolen or broken. Without a JEM AirKey (SD or HD) or a Recovery Key, you will not be able to access any of your passwords.
{% endhint %}

### Protect your Recovery Key

Anyone who has your Recovery Key may be able to access your Vault and all your passwords. Never share it with anyone you do not trust. 

*No person at JEM will ever ask you for this key.*

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.jempass.com/reference-info/recovery-key.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
