Seed phrase
In short
A seed phrase is a list of 12 or 24 words from which all your wallet keys derive. Whoever knows it owns your crypto — whoever loses it loses access for good.
It never belongs in photos, cloud storage or chats. Proven practice: on paper or steel, offline, in two separate places.
Can I keep my seed phrase in a password manager?
Better not: one online breach would then be enough. Offline backups are the standard.
