# What else do I need to know?

All encryption is handled client-side. \
\
Neither your passphrase nor any of your private information ever leaves your instance of Freewallet. <mark style="color:orange;">This also means that there is no password recovery</mark>, so make sure you do not lose your passphrase.

*<mark style="color:yellow;">**We repeat, the ONLY way to access anything you have received or created using Freewallet is your 12-word passphrase or your address specific Private Key.**</mark>* \
\
*<mark style="color:red;">**Do NOT share your passphrase or any private keys with anyone or any website.**</mark>*

It is important to always verify and back up your 12-word passphrase <mark style="color:red;">as well as private keys from any addresses you have imported.</mark>&#x20;

<mark style="color:yellow;">Preferably on a physical piece of paper</mark> and not, for instance, saved to a text file on the desktop of your computer.\
\
How addresses are seen and accessed in Freewallet can be learned in the [Viewing, Creating and Importing Addresses](/freewallet.io-user-manual/freewallet-functions/viewing-creating-and-importing-addresses.md) section of this User Manual.

While [Counterwallet](https://counterwallet.io/) was historically the first Counterparty wallet, [Freewallet](https://freewallet.io/) is the most recommended and updated Counterparty wallet at this time.&#x20;

To see all recommended and reputable Counterparty wallets or Counterparty “skins” please review the [list posted here](https://www.counterparty.io/#wallets) on the [official Counterparty website](https://www.counterparty.io/) as shown in the screenshot above.

<figure><img src="/files/3fCU02Fh6gHUxoLWeOAo" alt=""><figcaption><p>Freewallet only supported the creation and import of Counterwallet and BIP39 style seed phrases</p></figcaption></figure>

While some different wallets support certain Counterparty features, keep in mind your Counterparty style seed phrase or your BIP-39 seed phrase can be used in different wallets and will show you the same information related to your address. \
\ <mark style="color:yellow;">Though keep in mind it is considered highly risky and a bad idea to enter your passphrase across multiple places. It is the safest to always create a new wallet when using other wallet providers.</mark>

To learn more about wallet creation and import regarding Counterparty and BIP-39 seed phrase types, read through the [Creating a Wallet](/freewallet.io-user-manual/freewallet-functions/creating-a-wallet.md) section of this User Manual.
