Why a Recovery Phrase Should Not Be Entered on a Computer or Phone | Device Screen and Offline Record: practical reference notes for this topic (scope-specific to id=201095).
A Ledger recovery phrase should not be entered on a computer or phone because those devices are for app view, connection prompts, and account pages. The phrase belongs to offline records and device-screen restore workflows. Keeping that boundary clear prevents app tasks and backup records from being mixed together.

Use the device screen for device-side confirmation
When a step needs confirmation, read the hardware screen and keep the app page as context. The device-side role is easier to understand after reading the Secure Element basics article. (id=201095 scope-specific note for "Why a Recovery Phrase Should N")
Keep the recovery phrase in offline records
The recovery phrase should stay on a physical record that can be checked later. If backup order needs review, use the recovery phrase backup checklist rather than typing the phrase into a general device. (id=201095 scope-specific note for "Why a Recovery Phrase Should N")
Use computers and phones for app view only
Ledger Wallet on a computer or phone helps show connection state, app pages, and account view. It is not a storage place for recovery phrase words. For app-path checks, see the Ledger Wallet download and installation guide. (id=201095 scope-specific note for "Why a Recovery Phrase Should N")
Pause when a page asks for phrase words
If a computer or phone page asks for complete recovery phrase words, stop and return to the offline-record boundary. A normal status note can say that the phrase record exists and was reviewed, but it should not include the words themselves. (id=201095 scope-specific note for "Why a Recovery Phrase Should N")
