What is a seed phrase?

A seed phrase, also referred to as a recovery phrase or backup phrase, is a set of twelve words that contains all the information necessary to generate your private keys. You can use your seed phrase to set up your wallet on another device or another browser. You should always keep your seed phrase SAFE: if someone gains access to it, they can control your accounts. You should also make sure your seed phrase is backed up: if you lose the phrase, MetaMask can’t help you recover it.
