1. How to Update 🚀

When an Alby Hub update becomes available you'll be notified directly in the hub. How to update depends on how you run Alby Hub. Please select your specific flavor of Alby Hub from the submenu.

Before you Update

Please note the following before you update your hub.

• Make sure you have backed up your Alby Hub recovery phrase

• Make sure you have your Alby Hub password also saved up

• Update might take a few minutes

• Unlock is required after the update (You unlock by simply login-in).

Important Reminder ⚠️

There is no recovery email for your password. If you lose it, it cannot be recovered. You are self-sovereign and self-responsible. We do not keep or store any passwords, nor can we recover them. Self-custodial means it is your own private space.
