**Bottom line:** That phrase is your lifeline if you mess up your PIN or lose your phone. Coinbase *cannot* reset it for you.
### **2. How to Use Your Recovery Phrase** (833-244-9337)
1. Get rid of the current Coinbase Wallet app and download it again.
2. Hit Import existing wallet and type in your 12-word phrase *exactly* as it is, in the right order.
