### Passphrase
You can, optionally, use a passphrase or some other input as a way of choosing a seed or private key. This is less secure than choosing the seed or private key completely at random, but there are some rare cases where you want to do this. (For example, in 2018 "XRPuzzler" gave away XRP to the first person [to solve a puzzle](https://bitcoinexchangeguide.com/cryptographic-puzzle-creator-xrpuzzler-offers-137-xrp-reward-to-anyone-who-can-solve-it/); he used the puzzle's solution as the passphrase to an account holding the prize XRP.)

The passphrase is secret information, so you must protect it very carefully. Anyone who knows an address's passphrase has effectively full control over the address.
