Private keys and recovery phrases explained

Key principles

Understand, then verify

Private keys authorize transactions; a recovery phrase commonly restores wallet keys. Exposing either can put assets at risk.

01

Know the roles

A key signs transactions; a recovery phrase restores access. Neither belongs in support chats.

02

Avoid confusion

An app passcode is not the same as the recovery phrase.

03

Protect the record

Keep it offline, separate and readable over time.

⚠️ Security reminder

Never share a private key or recovery phrase. Pause on unfamiliar signing requests or websites.

When this matters

Apply these checks in real situations

Before installing, importing, transferring or switching devices, verify credentials, network details and request sources.

✅

Final review

When details do not match or sources cannot be verified, pause rather than proceed.
