**Important:** Your seed phrase is, in essence, the complete key to your wallet - anyone who possesses it has full ownership of the wallet and its assets. Therefore, if you lose your seed phrase, you lose access to your wallet and all funds stored within. SparX cannot recover or reset a lost seed phrase, so it is critical to store it securely.

5. Set a **password** for this seed to enable secure management and confirm all transactions associated with it.
## Managing a Seed
1. Click the **gear icon** next to the seed phrase you wish to manage.
2. Options available include:
* **Use this seed:** Switch to the selected seed to manage and access it's accounts from the main page.
* **Rename**: Assign a custom name for easier identification.
* **Export**: Securely export the seed phrase if you need to back it up or transfer it to another device.
* **Scan seed**: Automatically detects and displays accounts from all public keys in the selected seed for the current chain.
