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.
