If your wallet breaks down, is erased, or is lost, you have to use your recover phrase to recover your coins. When you create a new wallet, you will get a seed phrase. This seed phrase consists of 12 to 24 words. This depends on the type of wallet. It is not safe to email these words to yourself or to store them digitally in another way because your words can then easily be stolen. Your wallet will indicate that you must write the words on a sheet of paper. This is safer than storing your words digitally, but water, condensation, heat, and age can pose a real danger. With the CRYPTOTAG you store your backup words in virtually indestructible titanium. You can be sure that your backup words are still easily readable after 1, 5, or 25 years.
