Backup your wallet
Backing up your wallet is the most important step to keep your crypto safe. Sahal Wallet provides you with a 12-word seed phrase that serves as the master key to your funds. If you lose your device, uninstall the app, or forget your passcode, you can use the seed phrase to restore your wallet.
What is a Seed Phrase?
Section titled “What is a Seed Phrase?”A seed phrase (also called a recovery phrase or secret phrase) is a set of 12 random words generated when you create a new wallet.
- It is the only way to recover your funds if you lose access to your wallet.
- Anyone with your seed phrase can access your wallet, so keep it private and secure.
- Sahal Wallet will never ask you to share your seed phrase.
