Why Test Your Backup?
Creating a backup isn’t enough—you need to know it works. Testing your seed phrase confirms you could recover your funds if needed, giving peace of mind.
Safe Ways to Test
- Use a secondary device: Import your seed into a separate wallet app in offline or test mode.
- Use a watch-only wallet: Verify addresses and balances without moving funds.
- Create a clone wallet: On a device you trust but don't use daily.
What to Avoid
Never test on shared, online, or unknown devices. Always assume your backup test could expose sensitive data if not handled properly.
Security Tip
Test your backup once when created—and again periodically, especially before major software or device changes.
