# Create wallets with recovery

`POST /v1/wallets_with_recovery`

> **Deprecated.**

Create one or more wallets associated with a recovery user, so the user can later regain wallet access via the linked accounts. Deprecated; prefer the standard wallet creation flow combined with a separate recovery setup.
