    At BYDFi, we recommend using a 12-word seed phrase for your Bitcoin wallet. This is the most common and widely accepted standard in the industry. With 12 words, your seed phrase will have 2048 possible combinations, making it highly secure against brute-force attacks. Additionally, 12 words strike a good balance between security and memorability. Longer seed phrases may offer slightly higher security, but they can be more difficult to remember. It's important to choose a word length that you are comfortable with and that meets the requirements of your wallet. Remember to keep your seed phrase safe and never share it with anyone to protect your funds.
