Why Backup Your Recovery Phrase?
Your 12-word recovery phrase is the key to your entire Exodus Wallet. If you lose access to your device, it’s the only way to restore your funds. No recovery phrase = no recovery.
Step 1: Open Exodus Wallet
Launch the Exodus Wallet on your desktop or mobile device and go to the settings or security section.
Step 2: View Recovery Phrase
Navigate to the backup or security option and choose to view your 12-word phrase. You may need to enter your password.
Step 3: Write It Down
Physically write your recovery phrase on paper. Do not take a screenshot or store it digitally. This is for maximum security.
Step 4: Store It Safely
Keep the written phrase in a secure place like a fireproof safe, lockbox, or offline vault. Avoid online backups.
Step 5: Never Share It
Never share your recovery phrase with anyone—not even Exodus support. Anyone with access to it can steal your funds.
