What does this topic help you check?
A phrase, an extra passphrase and the wallet settings are different pieces of a recovery plan. Do not assume that a login password is an extra wallet passphrase, or that a photograph is a private offline backup.
Where could you start?
Your phone stops working. Your plan should tell you where the offline backup is, which recovery method applies and whether another secret is needed. It should never require sending those secrets to someone offering help.
How do the checks fit together?
Which guides can you read now?
- How should you write and store a seed phrase?
Write the words privately in their exact order and keep the backup offline. Protect it from unwanted access and damage while making sure you can retrieve it when needed.
- How can you test a backup without losing access?
Keep the working wallet intact. Start with its documented backup check, and attempt a restore rehearsal only when you understand the procedure and have a separate trusted environment.
- What does a passphrase add, and what does it risk?
In compatible phrase-based wallets, an extra passphrase changes which wallet the recovery words produce. It adds a secret you must also preserve; losing it can make the words alone insufficient.
- Is your backup ready for a safe recovery?
Check that your documented recovery information is readable, complete and protected. Use this sheet to spot gaps while the working wallet remains available; do not write any secret on it.
