I am restoring my LegacyApp notes from my backup but I don't remember which email or password I used
Not sure which email you used?
If you can't remember which email address you set up LegacyApp with, you can find it in a minute.
How to find your email
Search your main email accounts for a message from notify@legacy.app. If you find emails from that address, that's the account you used for LegacyApp.You don't need a password: just use the Magic Link
Once you know your email - especially after installing LegacyApp on a new device - you no longer need a password. LegacyApp uses a Magic Link login: enter the same email you used before, and the app recognises you and sends you a one-time link to sign in.
In short
Find your email by searching for messages from notify@legacy.app. Then enter that email, click the Magic Link we send you, and restore your notes from the "Backups" section. You'll need your Encryption Key to restore - the app shows the hint you set earlier.
