# Wallet recovery test

## Definition

A wallet recovery test is a controlled check that backup information can recreate the expected wallet accounts before the backup is needed in an emergency.

## What it means in practice

A good test verifies known public addresses or account identifiers without exposing the phrase to an untrusted service.

## How this concept appears in Terenval Wallet

For Terenval, users can validate recovery by using an appropriate trusted restore workflow and comparing expected public addresses before relying on the backup.

**Important:** Do not test a seed phrase by pasting it into random online checkers.
