FAQ #

Where can I find my recovery phrase or private key? #

For instructions, see View your recovery phrase or private keys in Phantom.

Can I import a wallet without a recovery phrase? #

It depends on how the wallet was created. If it used a Secret Recovery Phrase, that phrase is required. If it used a Google or Apple account, you can restore it with the same account and, if prompted, your four-digit PIN.

Forgot my recovery phrase, can I look it up? #

No. Phantom does not store your recovery phrase and cannot look it up or recover it for you. If you are still logged into Phantom on any device, you can view it from Settings > Security & Privacy > Show Recovery Phrase.
