# View Secret Key in wallet
Leather for web lets you get the Mnemonic (Secret Key) via the the overflow menu:
The seed phrase is compatible with (BIP39) Bitcoin wallets. As such the mnemonic lets you deterministically derive your private key. So if you have the mnemonic, you have the private key. You're free to save this electronically.
The point of the bip39 specification is to make saving keys easier for users unfamiliar with cryptography.
If you would like to make the conversion from mnemonic to private key you can use a third party tool like this: . Or you can use the Electrum wallet, when the option comes up make sure to select BIP39 and P2SH.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://leather.gitbook.io/guides/securing-the-wallet/view-secret-key-in-wallet.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
