Understand the principle

A wallet recovery phrase can control access to digital assets. It is not a password to be shared with support staff, friends or anyone who contacts you. Keep it private and use only the wallet's official recovery process. Anyone asking you to reveal the phrase should be treated as a serious warning.

03 · VERIFY

Verify what matters

Reject requests for the phrase and verify supposed support or recovery requests independently.

Use an independent method
  • Use the wallet's official app or official support documentation; never follow recovery instructions from an unsolicited caller, message, website or social-media account.
