Recovery Phrase After Shifting from Toast to Xumm

[Jkumar]

Hi All,

I transferred my xrp from toast to xumm last week. But, I got no recovery phrase offered by xumm during or after the setup. As far as I understand, I should be using the toast recovery phrase in case I have to restore my xumm wallet on a new device?

Just wanted to confirm from the community here. Not able to find clear info anywhere else.

TIA

Did you use the toast recovery phrase to import the wallet into XUMM? That same phrase will work again if you need to re-import it into XUMM or another wallet - it somehow gets converted into your secret key.

Personally, I like to make sure I have a copy of the secret key as well, the long string that starts with an s. If you don't have yours, I bet there's a way to get it from your recovery phrase.

I do not have any secret key with me, but I do have the recovery phrase of toast wallet. I should try to find secret key on toast wallet again?

I wouldn't say should. The secret key and the recovery phrase are the same thing, just represented in two different ways. You only need one. I just get nervous that I'll mess one up, so I like having it saved in two ways.

I've never used Toast, but it's been discontinued now, right? If you can still get into your wallet and see if it will give you the private key, I guess it can't hurt to try. Just don't download any new software that claims to be Toast. I've heard that the Toast Plus app is a scam that steals your XRP.
