Abstract: The present invention provides a method for recovering a device (D). The method comprises the steps of acquiring a recovery code with the device (D) to be recovered, matching an inherence factor of a user recovering the device (D) with an inherence factor of a user which is assigned to the device, and allowing a recovery of the device (D) if the inherence factor of the user recovering the device and the inherence factor of the user which is assigned to the device sufficiently matches. A further method is provided which comprises the steps of connecting the device (D) to be recovered to a cloud storage in which a backup of the device is stored, requesting a knowledge factor from the user recovering the device (D), allowing a recovery of the device (D) if the possession factor is correctly inputted into the device (D) to be recovered. Further an App is provided which can be stored on a device, which App contains instructions for carrying out the method.
