What do you need to understand first?
A ticked box records your review, not a guarantee that a restore will work. Different setups need different records. Read the wallet's own instructions and keep passphrases and shared-signing configuration in the recovery plan where applicable.
What might this look like?
You can read your recorded words but do not know whether an extra passphrase was enabled. Leave that item unresolved and check the original setup privately. Do not erase the wallet to find out.
Where is the safety checkpoint?
What belongs on your checklist?
- I know whether this is account recovery or recovery of keys I control.
- My offline recovery record is readable and follows the documented order.
- I know whether an extra passphrase is required and how it is protected.
- Shared signing, if used, has the required key and setup records.
- Storage considers unwanted access, loss and physical damage.
- I can locate the records without depending only on the usual device.
- I will use the documented check without erasing working access.
- No photograph, website checker or helper has received my secrets.
When should you pause?
Pause until you can check each point below without sharing spending secrets.
