Recovery phrases

A recovery phrase can recreate signing keys in wallets that use that design. It is different from a device password, a public address, or a record of past transactions. This collection focuses on preparing and checking recovery without unnecessarily exposing sensitive information. Wallets differ: some use other recovery arrangements, and some require additional components beyond a phrase. Follow the official instructions for the exact product rather than combining steps from unrelated tutorials. Think about loss, device failure, accidental disclosure, and who should be able to help. Keep ordinary operating notes useful without turning them into a second unprotected copy of the secrets.
