Why is it important?
Saving and securing your Recovery Phrase is the most important step when transacting in crypto, especially if you have, or plan to have, a large amount of funds in your wallet. There are many options you can use to safeguard your Recovery Phase. Each requires different types and levels of protection, commitment, and investment. Please choose the option(s) that are right for you.
It's crucial to remember that your Recovery Phrase is the sole means of restoring access to your Valora wallet, and you are the only one who knows it. If your phone is misplaced, stolen, or damaged, having a copy of your Recovery Phrase that is not saved on your phone becomes essential. It's critical to keep it secure to ensure you can regain access to your account and funds whenever needed.
