Passphrase Security Basics

• Write down the passphrase you want to use before entering it in your device.

• Use a combination of words as a passphrase to have less trouble remembering it.

• Use at least 12 characters in your passphrase, 24 characters offer more security.

• If someone has access to your seed phrase, the passphrase will prevent them from taking your bitcoins.

• Create a unique passphrase that nobody can guess but that you can remember.

• If you lose the passphrase, you lose access to your bitcoins forever (if you also lose access to your device).

• You cannot change your passphrase. You can only create a new one, which in turn will generate a new wallet.

• The passphrase is required to recover your access to your bitcoins if your device is damaged, lost or stolen.
