What is a recovery phrase?

The recovery phrase is a set of 12 or 24 words, an encryption key used to access your blockchain wallet. 

When a wallet is created on the blockchain, it creates: 

1. A public address. Just like a bank routing or account number, the transactions you conduct within the Ottr app are recorded on the blockchain under this public address.

2. Wallet secrets: There are two important wallet secrets: a private key, consisting of 24 characters, and a recovery phrase, which comprises either 12 or 24 words.
