Private Keys and Seed Phrases

You restore a wallet with the right 12 words but mistype the optional passphrase you set. What do you see?

• An error message, because the passphrase doesn't match
• A different, empty wallet, because the passphrase changes the seed
• Your usual wallet, because the 12 words are what count

Which backup of a seed phrase is the safest of these?

• A screenshot in your cloud photo library
• A draft email to yourself
• Paper or metal copies kept offline in two safe places
