recovery phrase
A secret list of words that can unlock a crypto wallet. Anyone who learns it can take everything inside.
The fuller meaning
The seed words that restore a self-custody crypto wallet, and therefore control its funds. Whoever has it owns the coins: never share it with anyone, including people claiming to be support staff, and never paste it into a website or AI tool.
