Should I generate my recovery phrases using the card or the app?

With CoolWallet Go, you have two secure options for generating your recovery phrases. The best choice depends on your personal preferences and how you plan to manage your wallet.

🔐 Card-Based Generation (Recommended for Enhanced Privacy)

When you generate your recovery phrases using the CoolWallet Go card, the process takes place entirely within the card. The recovery phrases are securely stored on the card and are never displayed on your phone screen or exposed digitally. This method provides an extra layer of privacy, as your recovery phrase stays completely offline and out of sight.
Additionally, it reduces the possibility of errors when manually writing down your phrase.

📱 App-Based Generation (Equally Secure, More Manual)

Generating your recovery phrases using the CoolWallet App is also a secure option. The phrases will be displayed on your phone screen once during setup, and you'll need to manually write them down and store them in a safe place. Just be sure to keep it secure—if your backup is lost or exposed, your assets could be at risk.

In short, both methods are secure. Card-based generation offers added privacy, while app-based generation gives you full visibility and control. Choose the method that best fits your preferences for setup and backup.
