Seed phrase

A seed phrase is a collection of 12 or 24 words that gives access to your wallet. You normally use your seed phrase as a backup if you have lost your wallet login codes, or, for example, if you are using a new device and want to import your wallet. People who do not manage their crypto themselves, but for example with a broker, do not need a seed phrase themselves.
