A seed phrase is not a password that can be reset — it is the wallet itself. Sharing it grants complete, irreversible control to whoever receives it, regardless of claimed intent or authority.
Scammers impersonate wallet support, exchange staff, tax authorities, and recovery specialists to request phrases through forms, calls, and direct messages. No legitimate support channel requests full phrases through unsolicited contact.
Professional recovery services evaluate cases using metadata, public addresses, transaction history, and backup status descriptions. Sensitive recovery material is handled only through approved secure procedures after eligibility review.
If you have shared a seed phrase, assume the wallet is compromised and initiate containment and hardening immediately; recovery of exposed funds is not guaranteed.
