Recovery phrase

The ordered list of words from which a wallet’s private keys are derived. Also called a seed phrase or mnemonic.

Why it matters

The recovery phrase is the account, not a backup of it. Anyone holding the words controls the funds immediately and irreversibly. No legitimate service, support process or tool ever needs it. Conisec will never ask for one.

Not advice. Definitions are for understanding, not instruction. Nothing here is financial, legal, tax or security advice.
