What is a recovery phrase?

A recovery phrase is the master password that grants access to your crypto wallet. 

Anyone with access to your recovery phrase can access your crypto wallet. 

 

It is important to:

  • Keep your recovery phrase stored in a secret and secure location.
  • Never share your recovery phrase with anyone else.

If you lose your mobile device or delete the Uniswap Wallet app, you will need your recovery phrase to restore your wallet.

 

If you lose your recovery phrase, you will permanently lose access to your wallet. 

 

Uniswap Labs Support does not have access to your recovery phrase and will never ask for it. The Uniswap Labs Support team cannot restore your wallet for you if you have lost your recovery phrase. 

 

When setting up the Uniswap Wallet you will only your recovery phrase once.

 

After you have created or imported your wallet, you will not need to provide your recovery phrase again unless you are reinstalling the app or have removed a wallet and want to add it again.
