You need your recovery kit (private key and passphrase) to setup passbolt on a new browser.

The recovery kit can be used if you are setting up passbolt on a new machine, for example if you lost, upgraded or reinstalled the previous one. This procedure can also be used to configure passbolt on an additional machine, or another browser, or another browser profile.
