Recovery Phrase
A list of 12–24 secret words that can fully restore access to your crypto wallet.
A Recovery Phrase (also called a Seed Phrase)
is a sequence of 12 to 24 random words that acts as the master key
to your entire crypto wallet.
Anyone who has your recovery phrase can recreate your wallet
and access all your funds — even on another device.
That’s why it must be stored offline and privately.
Why it matters
- It’s the only way to recover your wallet if your device is lost or broken
- Works across different wallets that use the same standard (like BIP39)
- If stolen, it gives full control of your crypto to the thief
Most wallets show your recovery phrase once during setup —
never take a screenshot or store it online.
💡 Lanzo Tip
Write your recovery phrase on paper or metal
and keep it somewhere only you can access —
because there’s no “Forgot Password” in crypto 🧠
