ONTO is a decentralized wallet. Mnemonic phrases and private keys are only kept in your phone, and your digital assets are completely managed by yourself. Thus, ONTO cannot help you find them. Anyone with your mnemonic phrases or your private keys has access to your wallet. If you lose your mnemonic phrases/private keys, you lose your control to your wallet. Thus, please safely backup them, and do not leak them to anyone else.
In contrast to centralized wallet/exchanges that store your mnemonic phrases/private keys, decentralized wallet doesn’t store them. The mnemonic phrases/private keys are only kept in your local storage. Users are the only keepers to their digital assets. Decentralized wallet is only a tool to help manage users’ assets on-chain and capture blockchain data, and cannot control the assets.
Please check if you have imported a single-chain wallet with the same address. After you have backed-up your mnemonic phrases/private keys, you can delete the previously imported single-chain wallet and import a multi-chain wallet.
