What you will do
By the end, you will have a clear plan for keeping a recovery phrase private and recoverable. You do not need a wallet to do this.
You will need: Nothing. This is a planning exercise, and you should never type a real phrase anywhere while doing it.
An example to think about
Plan: written on paper, stored in a safe place at home, a second copy in a different safe place, never photographed, never typed into any website.
The steps
Understand what it is
A recovery phrase is a list of words that can restore a wallet. Anyone who has it can take everything in the wallet.
Decide where it would live
Offline. Paper or a metal backup kept where fire and water are less likely to reach. Not in a photo, a cloud note, or an email.
Plan for accidents
Consider a second copy in a different safe place, so one accident does not lose everything.
Know the one rule
No real support team, app, or website will ever ask for it. Typing it into a site is one of the most common ways people lose wallets.
Think about trusted access
Think about who you trust if you cannot reach it yourself. Speak to a legal adviser about how to plan this safely.
