Your recovery password is like the master key to your Account ID — it’s important to store it safely and securely, and to ensure that only you have access to it. If someone else gains access to your recovery phrase, they can restore your account on their device. This means they will be able to send messages from your account.
Here are a few options for keeping your recovery password safe:
- Write your recovery phrase on a piece of paper, then store it in a safe location.
- Consider further securing your recovery phrase by splitting it into sections using a technique like Shamir’s Secret Sharing.
- Store it in a secure Password Manager.
Remember — the order of the words in your recovery password is crucial. However you store it, ensure that you can reconstruct it in the same order in which it was provided.
