# How to find my seed phrase

{% hint style="warning" %}
NEVER share your seeds/keys with anyone! If you do, they can steal your funds. Always save your seeds in a safe place!
{% endhint %}

You can follow these simple steps to find your seed phrase. This seed phrase can be used to restore your funds in another wallet.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Open Cake Wallet

Open Cake Wallet, which has an existing wallet. If you do not have an existing wallet, then [create one first](https://docs.cakewallet.com/get-started/setup/create-new-wallet).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Open Settings

On the home screen, tap the gear icon in the top right corner to open **Settings**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Tap Seed & Keys

In Settings, tap **Seed & Keys**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Authenticate

You will be prompted to enter your wallet PIN, password, or biometrics.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### View your seed and keys

Once you have successfully authenticated, your seed and keys will be displayed. The **Seed** tab shows your recovery words, each with its position number — use **Copy** to copy the full phrase or **Show QR** to display it as a QR code.

Switch to the **Keys** tab to view your wallet's keys. The available tabs depend on the wallet's asset type — for example, Bitcoin wallets also include a **Silent Payments** tab.

{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

Your seed phrase can be restored in other compatible wallets, depending on asset type. For example, your Monero seed phrase can be restored in the [official Monero GUI](https://getmonero.org/downloads). By default, Cake Wallet creates Bitcoin and Litecoin wallets using a BIP39 seed phrase, which can be restored in other BIP39-compatible wallets. Note that Electrum uses its own seed format, so a default Cake Wallet BIP39 seed will not restore directly in Electrum; only wallets you created in Cake Wallet using the Electrum seed type can be restored in Electrum.
