FairyVault gives you full control over your wallet, including access to your private key and seed phrase. These credentials are critical for recovery, so it's important to manage them with care.

  1. On the FairyVault home screen, tap your account name and click "Add & manage wallets"

  2. Select the wallet address for which you want to view the private key or seed phrase.

  3. On the address details page, tap "Show seed phrase" or "Show private key". Follow the on-screen prompts to reveal the credentials.

  4. You may choose to write down the seed phrase on paper and store it in a safe place. Or you may copy the private key and save it in a secure, offline location.

Your seed phrase and private key are the keys to your wallet. If lost, you may permanently lose access to your assets. Never share the seed phrase or private key with anyone.
