Linking your Identity, Phone and Personal Trustee
As a human, there are three elements that work together to support you in whatever activites you are engaging in while on the Mesh: your identity, your phone with the Mesh In app installed, and a Trustee. Linking is a process used on the Mesh to "introduce" these elements to one another. You are in the most secure state and have enabled the highest level of convenience when these three elements are all linked.
When you initially enroll using the Mesh In app, your newly created identity and your phone (via the app) are linked. If you get a new phone, you can easily link your mesh identity to the new phone by installing the Mesh In app, selecting "I'm an existing member" and following the prompts.
You link your phone to your personal Trustee using a process called colorstreaming. At the end of your initial enrollment, you will be asked if you want to link your phone with your Trustee. If you don't yet have your own Trustee, you can choose to link later. As long as your phone is unlinked you will receive "nudges" to get your own personal Trustee and link your phone with it.
You can begin enjoying using the Mesh even if you have not yet linked your phone with your own personal Trustee. The Mesh enables this by assigning a virtual Trustee to support you until you have your own personal Trustee. Linking your phone with your own personal Trustee unlocks advantages that you can't get with a virtual Trustee such as resetting your passcode and replacing your phone without the use of a recovery code.
