Each Web3 wallet has its own secret recovery phrase of 12, 18 or 24 words/seed phrase and private keys.
A secret recovery phrase is a unique set of words that is assigned when creating the wallet. The secret recovery phrase/seed phrase acts as the “master key” for all accounts in the wallet.
Even if you delete your wallet or lose your device, you can access all your cryptocurrencies and NFTs associated with that wallet with the secret recovery phrase.
The private key, on the other hand, is associated with the blockchain address and is used to prove ownership of the blockchain address during blockchain transactions via digital signature.
Private keys change according to the blockchain networks in the wallet, and the secret recovery phrase does not.
Do not share both the private key and the recovery phrase with others.
Both the recovery phrase and the private keys can be used to import the wallet account into another wallet.
