Keep it private
Do not send it to support, chats or wallet-verification pages. A recipient may gain control of your funds.

Seed phrases and wallet recovery
A secret phrase can restore access in compatible wallets. It is not a public address.
Recovery limits
A compatible app may restore the wallet from the phrase. Ethereum.org cannot reset a self-custody password or recover access for you.
FinFly practice
Keep a backup separately from your everyday device. Never paste it into search, an AI chat or an unsolicited form.
