    From a device you have already approved

    4. Step 4: The new device opens your practice by itself within a few seconds.

    With your recovery code

    2. Step 2: Type the code Olive Grove shows on your computer under Settings, Backups, Cloud backup. Spaces and dashes do not matter.

    3. Step 3: Choose Approve with my recovery code. The code is used in this browser to open your key; it is not sent.
