How to Find a Recovery Phrase in the Trust Wallet?

Let’s see how to get your secret recovery phrase from the Trust wallet so that you can import that account to another device or another supported wallet.

A recovery phrase enables you to generate all the accounts with public addresses and private keys and import those using a few simple English words. As the trust wallet uses the BIP39 standard for generating Mnemonic or Seed phrases, these seed phrases are compatible with several such wallets as MetaMask.

We have a separate article that goes deep into explaining what a seed phrase is and how it works. It is the same 12-word(usually) phrase that you confirm twice while setting up your wallet.
