What is Seed phrase?

The 12-24 word master key that regenerates your wallet — whoever has it controls the funds, so it must never be typed into a website or shared.

How it works

It's the root of everything. Phishing sites that ask you to import or verify your seed phrase are stealing it. Store it offline, on paper or metal, never in a photo, cloud note, or online-synced password manager.

Will support ever ask for my seed phrase?

Never. Anyone asking for it is stealing from you, no exceptions.
