Save the exact private key returned with your result. The generator does not provide a seed phrase or a recovery service.

## Back up the secret, not only its label

A memorable address is public receiving information. It cannot restore the associated private key. Saving a screenshot of the address without the secret is therefore not a recovery plan.

This generator returns one hexadecimal private key, not a mnemonic seed. Do not assume that your wallet’s existing phrase recreates a key generated independently by this service.


## Treat every copy as sensitive

A clipboard entry, screenshot, downloaded file and cloud-synchronized note can each become another copy of the secret. Choose a storage method appropriate to your threat model and check what your device synchronizes automatically. Do not paste the key into public validators or help requests.

- Preserve the exact key rather than a shortened display.
- Store a separate note of the expected public address and intended wallet/network context.
- Keep public receiving instructions separate from private recovery material.

## Check recovery without exposing the key

Use the trusted wallet’s documented import procedure and compare the full derived address. If the key is lost, the visible vanity fragment and generation job ID cannot reconstruct it. The service does not promise permanent recovery of provider results.

Read [the import guide](https://www.tronvanity.io/blog/import-tron-vanity-private-key) before relying on a backup. The [security guide](https://www.tronvanity.io/blog/is-tron-vanity-address-safe) explains the additional trust involved because the key was created by hosted infrastructure.

- [Importing a TRON Vanity Private Key into a Wallet](https://www.tronvanity.io/blog/import-tron-vanity-private-key) — The result contains a TRON address and a 64-character hexadecimal private key. These are different fields and must not be interchanged.
- [Is a TRON Vanity Address Safe?](https://www.tronvanity.io/blog/is-tron-vanity-address-safe) — A vanity pattern is a visual preference, not a security property. The generation method and private-key handling determine the trust required.
