How to safely recover your crypto wallet’s seed phrase?  

Download the CieldX app and use the built-in seed phrase recovery feature. 

IMPORTANT SECURITY WARNING: 

It is NOT advised to paste or type your cryptocurrency wallet’s Secret Recovery Phrase on any website, chat box, online form, social media platform, or click on any suspicious link. Please note that your seed phrase is the master key to your crypto assets. If anyone gains access to your recovery phrase, they can drain out all your funds. 

Introduction

One of the most stressful situations that a crypto investor faces today is when they are not able to access his wallet and the funds stored in it. This can happen due to multiple situations, such as losing your wallet device, forgetting the access PIN, misplacing the seed phrase, or mistakenly deleting the app. In this moment of vulnerability, they end up searching the web for alternative solutions to recover their wallets and the valuable crypto assets stored in them. 

However, they often end up providing their seed phrase on incorrect or phishing websites. Many investors fall into the trap of fake support scams, and they eventually end up losing their funds. But if you know the right technique, recovering your wallet is completely safe and straightforward. However, knowing the correct method is the key. 

Here’s how the wallet recovery actually works: 

1. Download the official app of the wallet. 

2. Use the built-in recovery tool. 

3. Provide your seed phrase and regain wallet access. 

But what if you do not have the complete Seed Phrase? In that case, use the in-built tool on CieldX and gain access to your wallet once again. 

Why should you NOT paste your seed phrase online? 

If you are an active crypto trader, you must be aware of the fact that the Secret Recovery Phrase is the master key to your wallet. It is a sequence of 12 or 24 words generated when you set up your wallet for the first time. This is the only way through which you are allowed access to your wallet, and losing it could cost you all your funds. Hence, experts advise you NOT to paste it anywhere online, other than the official wallet app or the device. 

• Phishing scams: Many lookalike websites are designed in such a way that they mimic the official website of the wallet. However, they are created to steal your seed phrase, thereby draining your wallet. 

• Fake support agents: In a similar way, there are fake support agents that you may find on various social media platforms and other platforms such as Telegram, Discord, and Reddit. They will convince you to share your seed phrase so that they can help you recover your wallet. But they actually steal your funds. 

• Pop-ups and forms: At times, you will come across pop-ups and forms that claim to help you validate your seed phrase, eventually landing you in trouble.  

• Scams related to screen sharing: When you search the web to recover your wallet, you may end up on one such website that claims to help you recover your wallet, eventually asking you to share your screen and carrying out the scam. 

IMPORTANT: Once you lose access to your seed phrase, recovering your wallet will be impossible.
