If you have used any [non-custodial]({{ '/guide/glossary/#non-custodial--custodial-wallet' | relative_url }}) bitcoin application you are likely to have experienced the onboarding requirements of manual backups. When creating a new wallet, you will be asked to manually backup a 12 or 24 word recovery phrase to a *safe place*. Often, as the next step it will ask you to verify that you did save it by having you input the phrase in the correct order.
