This is the most important thing to do whenever you install a new wallet on your device. The seed phase or the Mnemonic key holds your private keys and gives you total control of your crypto assets. With this seed phrase or Mnemonic key, you can restore your assets in another device at any time.
That seed phrase or Mnemonic key is so powerful that it can also be restored on another wallet entirely that supports that seed phrase type or Mnemonic key type. All you need to do is, install the wallet on another device or the same device and restore your keys and assets using the backed up seed phrase or Mnemonic key.
