wallet show-seed-phrase

Legacy spelling: this command was previously spelled wallet-show-seed-phrase. Both spellings work, but only the nested spelling shown here appears in help and tab completion (v1.4.5+).

Show the seed phrase for the loaded wallet if it has been stored.

Usage​

wallet show-seed-phrase

Notes​

This command is available in cold wallet mode (--cold-wallet). The seed phrase is only available if it was stored when the wallet was created or recovered (i.e. using the store-seed-phrase option). If it was not stored, or has been purged with wallet purge-seed-phrase, this command will return nothing.

Keep the seed phrase secure, anyone who has it can fully recover the wallet and access all funds.
