# Recovery after reset
If for whatever reason you need to reinstate your YubiKey from your master key backup (such as the one stored on an encrypted USB described in [Backup](#backup)), follow the following steps in [Rotating keys](#rotating-keys) to setup your environment, and then follow the steps of again [Configure Smartcard](#configure-smartcard).
Before you unmount your backup, ask yourself if you should make another one just in case.
# Notes
1. YubiKey has two configurations: one invoked with a short press, and the other with a long press. By default, the short-press mode is configured for HID OTP - a brief touch will emit an OTP string starting with `cccccccc`. If you rarely use the OTP mode, you can swap it to the second configuration via the YubiKey Personalization tool. If you *never* use OTP, you can disable it entirely using the [YubiKey Manager](https://developers.yubico.com/yubikey-manager) application (note, this not the similarly named older YubiKey NEO Manager).
