Understanding Recovery Phrases

Imagine your Recovery Phrase as a master key to your digital vault.

PLEASE NOTE: If you are using the Solana snap through MetaMask your private key and recovery phrase are safeguarded within your MetaMask wallet. The Solana Snap doesn't have access to them. It operates like a dapp, merely requesting signatures from MetaMask. This means it extends your wallet's capabilities without compromising the security of your private details.

So the only way to export them is through the Metamask settings: Settings - Security & privacy - Reveal secret recovery phrase
