## Do not lose your Stacks tokens

When you create a wallet you receive a _seed phrase_. With one very important
exception, a seed phrase is similar to a banking pin in that it gives you
access to your wallet and the tokens it contains.  The exception is, that if you
lose your seed phrase you can never access your wallet or the tokens it contains
ever again.

{% include warning.html content="Losing a seed phrase is final and destructive.
Blockstack does not keep a copy of your seed. Blockstack cannot give you a new
seed, get your access to your wallet, or return your tokens if you lose your
seed phrase." %}

Keep your seed phrase secret. Just as with a banking pin, anyone that knows or
steals your seed phrase can access your tokens.

For this reason, you should keep your seed phrase safe. You should write your
seed phrase down and store it in at least two locations. A safe or lock box is a
good location. You can also store it online in a password manager.
