Do NOT, under any circumstances, share your Secret Recovery Phrase or Private Keys with anyone! Due to the nature of Phantom being a non-custodial wallet, only you and anyone with access to these keys can control your wallet and its assets. Remember, Phantom support will NEVER ask you for your Secret Recovery Phrase or Private Keys. Protect your information to ensure your security.
If you’re already using crypto wallets that support Solana, Ethereum, Base, Polygon, and Bitcoin and are considering switching to or connecting another wallet with Phantom, we have great news! Phantom offers a seamless migration process, allowing you to easily import all your wallets using your Secret Recovery Phrase or Private Keys. Transitioning to Phantom is both effortless and secure, ensuring a smooth and worry-free experience.
Currently, Phantom only allows you to import a 12 or 24-word seed phrase. If you have a seed phrase of a different length that you need to import, you will have to utilize a different wallet that supports the specific length of your seed phrase.
