## How do I find my wallet?
The easiest way to find the location of your LBRY wallet is via the [LBRY app](https://lbry.io/get). Open LBRY and then go to your wallet (bank icon in the top right of the screen). In the Balance section, you will see a link for `Backup`, click this. If this link is grayed out, it usually means you don't have any credits (see section below on how to manually find the wallet).

When you click `Backup`, you will be shown the location of your `lbryum` directory that contains the wallet file. Navigate to this directory via your file explorer to locate your wallet. You can either choose to backup this whole directory, the wallets directory inside it or the `default_wallet` file itself inside the wallets directory.
Click on the Wallet tab to expand then click `Backup` numbered `1`.
