Every Web3 wallet has its own 12, 18, or 24-word secret recovery phrase/ seed phrase and private keys.
A secret recovery phrase is a unique series of words that is allocated at the time of wallet creation. The secret recovery phrase/ seed phrase acts as the “master key” for all the accounts in the wallet.
Even if you delete your wallet or lose your device, you can access all of your cryptocurrencies and NFTs associated with that wallet with the secret recovery phrase.
The private key, on the other hand, is associated with the blockchain address and is used to prove ownership of the blockchain address during the blockchain transactions by digital signature.
Private keys change according to the blockchain networks in the wallet and the secret recovery phrase does not.
You should not share both the private key and the recovery phrase with others.
Both the recovery phrase and the private keys can be used to import the wallet account to another wallet.
