• You can click on the lock icon to display the secret recovery phrase. It is highly recommended to write your phrase down on paper, have multiple copies, and store it somewhere safe. After all, Casper Wallet is a self-custody wallet - you are solely responsible for your assets!
• You can also copy the whole secret recovery phrase with one click. 

After you have safely stored your secret recovery phrase, confirm and click Next.

You are then prompted with a test to make sure you have stored your secret recovery phrase. Choose the words in the exact order that you see in your secret recovery phrase, and click Confirm.

If successful, a confirmation message will appear. Check out the given tips on the screen, and click Done to continue.

Option 2: Import an existing secret recovery phrase

This option is for those who already have a secret recovery phrase, either from Casper Wallet or another CSPR supported wallet such as Ledger, and want to import/recover them.

‍

Enter your 24-word secret recovery phrase, with a space between each word, and you are ready to go!

Please note that Casper Wallet will only bring back your main account on recovery. If you had multiple accounts tied to your recovery phrase, you can bring them back simply by creating new accounts on Casper Wallet. Your previous accounts will come back with their balance in the same order as you created them in the first place.
