What Is a Seed Phrase?

What it does

A seed phrase can restore access to a wallet if the device is lost or replaced. Anyone who gets it can potentially access the wallet, so privacy matters more than convenience.

Common mistakes

• Saving the phrase in cloud notes or screenshots.
• Typing it into websites after a DM or support message.
• Showing it on camera or in screen recordings.
• Keeping every backup in one easy-to-lose location.

Safer habits

Write recovery information offline, verify it carefully, and store it in a place protected from theft, fire, water, and casual discovery.
