### Wallet recovery phrase

Tap "Reveal" to reveal the unique 24-phrase mnemonic seed for your wallet. When the seed is revealed, tap "Copy to clipboard" and paste the phrase in a safe place. The app will allow you 5 minutes after copying to paste the seed phrase elsewhere. Once you have copied the seed phrase, the "Continue" button will activate. After saving your seed phrase, tap "Continue".

Please ensure that you store the full seed phrase as it is your only way to recover your wallet if you forget your password or need to add or re-import the wallet.
