Private Keys and Recovery Phrases

Understand how private keys, recovery phrases, and app passwords differ—and why each needs an appropriate protection strategy.

Private Keys and Recovery Phrases
🔐 Core principle: verify the source and environment before handling credentials or approvals.
01

Different credentials, different roles

Private keys authorize control of accounts; a recovery phrase commonly recreates wallet keys; an app password primarily restricts local access on a device.

02

Why disclosure matters

Anyone with sufficient recovery information may be able to restore and control the wallet without your phone. Treat requests for the full phrase as highly suspicious.

03

Reduce exposure

Avoid screenshots, clipboard sharing, remote access sessions and online transfer. Restore only in a trusted environment using verified software.
