Seed phrase (recovery phrase)
In Turkish: Kurtarma ifadesi (seed phrase)
The 12 or 24 words that restore a crypto wallet. Anyone who has them owns your coins, so they are never shared or typed into a site.
The phrase is the master key to the wallet. No genuine wallet maker, exchange or support person will ever ask for it, and a page that does is a trap. Losing it also loses the wallet, because nobody can reset it for you.
Write it on paper and store it somewhere safe, away from the device. Avoid photos, cloud notes and messages, because those can be copied or breached.
What to do
- Never type or say your seed phrase to anyone, on any site or in any chat.
- Write it on paper and keep it where only you can reach it.
- Do not keep a photo or a cloud copy of it.
