Also, if anyone gets access to it, they might steal all your crypto assets even without knowing your device\u2019s pin code.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In case you lose access to your recovery sheet, you can;<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li>Immediately transfer your entire balance to temporary accounts.

The recovery seed, also known as the seed key, or the seed phrase, is the only way through which you can recover your digital coins.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Most users, who ignore or skip this step, usually end up losing their assets in the long run.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">It is also possible to use the 24-word recovery phrase from your lost Leger to recover a lost Monero [XMR] wallet without having a new hardware wallet.
