I read after about the three golden rules so how do i export to windows and make a recovery.

@Gordon S, would you please elaborate on what exactly you've done up to now so that we can help you with the next steps?
Am I correct in assuming from your post that you have created an identity using @Jeffa's iOS client and now want to export this identity to your windows PC?

I used ios to set up sqrl account. when I went through the forms there was an form on getting started that said I should have started in windows and it would have walked me through the steps to print out the recovery code and export to other devices. so now I am wondering if I should start in windows with a new account. or if there is a way to export to windows. when I start Sqrl in windows it asked to make a new account or import one. It gives three options, but I have none of the files or print outs to transfer the information over.

Well, if you created a SQRL identity without saving the recovery code (that you can only see during identity creation), then yes, you should start over by creating a completely new identity.

I suspect we need to hear from @Jeffa if his client is advanced enough to support export yet.

I just had this issue myself and figured it out so I thought I'd share in case anyone else finds this thread.

When you export from Jeff's iOS app to a PDF it includes both a QR code and the textual representation of the identity, so you can import it into Steve's Windows app by typing in the textual representation (no copy-paste unfortunately).

The client can export via QR code, pdf, or binary, via the iOS share feature. This is in the ID admin area.

I seem to recall using a webcam with Steve’s client to import in the past too.

Or typing it in works too.

Of course if you didn’t keep your rescue code all bets are off
