# Can someone else get the same recovery phrase as me?

No, not in practice. Your device picks your phrase at random from a huge number of possible phrases. Even if every person on Earth made an account, two matching phrases would be less likely than winning a 1-in-300-million lottery jackpot twice in a row. The same numbers are why [nobody can guess your phrase](https://privacynotes.app/help/guess-phrase/).

Your Account ID comes from the phrase. So if you delete an account and sign in again with the same 12 words, you get a new, empty vault with the same Account ID. Nothing from the deleted vault comes back. After you move to a new phrase, remove the old one from your password manager, so you never sign in to the old account by mistake.
