Steps to Securely Extract Your Address 🔑

Trust Wallet is a non-custodial wallet, giving you control over your private keys and, consequently, your funds. The app secures access to your assets through a 12-word recovery phrase that encapsulates all your private keys. While Trust Wallet does not provide a direct feature to export individual private keys, they can be derived using your recovery phrase.
To access the private key for a specific address, start by copying your recovery phrase from Trust Wallet. Since the app does not include built-in tools for extracting individual private keys, users must rely on third-party tools or methods, which may involve potential security risks.
Open the Trust Wallet app and select the Settings tab.
Select View Secret Phrase from the list of menu items.
Enter your Trust Wallet password as a security step, then click Reveal to view your secret phrase.
A popup window will display your 12-word secret phrase. You can write it down or download it, but ensure it remains private and never share it with anyone.
Convert your secret phrase to a private key.
Now that you have your secret phrase, you can convert it into a private key. You can do this manually using a Python script if you have coding knowledge or by using an online tool.
Keep in mind to exercise caution when using online tools.
