View your recovery phrase or private keys in Phantom
Your Secret Recovery Phrase and private keys are the backup credentials for your wallet. Export them before switching devices, resetting Phantom, or whenever you need a secure offline backup. Even if your wallet was created with a Google or Apple account, it still has a recovery phrase.
If you imported private keys into Phantom, export those too.
You may also need your recovery phrase or private keys to restore your wallet after reinstalling Phantom or moving to a new device.
Warning: Never share your Secret Recovery Phrase or private key with anyone. Anyone with access to either has full control of your wallet. Phantom Support will never ask for your recovery phrase or private key.

When private key export may not be available #
Wallets created with a Google or Apple account are powered by Phantom KMS. KMS stores your wallet keys in secure enclaves rather than on your device. Because the private key never leaves the enclave environment, the Show Private Key option is not available for these accounts. This is expected behavior.
Your wallet is still fully backed up. Use Show Recovery Phrase to export your recovery phrase as backup.
When recovery phrase export may not be available #
If you're using a hardware wallet such as Ledger, Phantom does not expose its recovery phrase or private keys. This is expected behavior.
