⚠️ Important: Never share your secret phrase with anyone. Store it offline in a secure location. Trust Wallet Support will never ask you for your secret phrase!
Trust Wallet makes it easy to import your wallet using your secret phrase (also known as a recovery phrase, seed phrase, or mnemonic, a 12 or 24-word backup that controls full access to your wallet).
Because Web3 (the decentralized, blockchain-based internet) is an open ecosystem, most Web3 wallets, including Trust Wallet, support wallet imports. That means you can access the same wallet across different platforms, like switching from the browser extension to the mobile app (or vice versa), or even importing from other wallets like MetaMask, Phantom, or Coinbase Wallet.
