Help my moons!!

I got a new phone and thought all was good but my vault didn’t transfer over.. I have my vault password but my problem is I cannot trigger the vault to be available. I’ve googled and tried the few things I’ve found posted but none have worked. According to Reddit the vault will “automatically appear when I purchase one of their nfts or premium avatars”… are they now forcing us to buy something from them to activate the vault or am I missing something obvious?

I only had a few hundred so it’s not the end of the world if I can’t recover the old vault and have to start over, but so far I cannot even do that.
