I got this error while entering my secret seed phrase after pressing enter on the solana CLI: Error: Dynamic program error: Can't get mnemonic from seed phrases
I also double checked that my secret seed phrase is correct

Can you share the cli command you used? (Obviously hide the secret)– SerbanCommented Nov 28, 2023 at 19:21

Are you using your seed phrase (Collection of words) or your private key? If you are using the CLI the most common setup is using a file system wallet which is your private key in a JSON file (a bunch of numbers). Common usage would be to have the private key saved as a file called wallet.json which you can reference as wallet.json in your cli command.

Hello, I didn’t use a file system wallet in fact I used a paper wallet. I was trying to create a staking account and while I tried to create it I had to type the secret seed phrase which then lead to the error message. Any suggestions?– KarimCommented Nov 29, 2023 at 21:05

You can create a secret key from your phrase. Save the phrase in a file and run this command:
solana-keygen recover 'prompt:?key=0/0' -o seedPhrase.jsonThis should create a JSON file that contains your secret key, you can then use this for work in the CLI.– owen.solCommented Nov 29, 2023 at 22:07 -
And how exactly is it going to help me with creating my stake account? These are the following commands that i'll have to insert to be creating a staking account: solana stake-authorize <STAKE_ACCOUNT_ADDRESS> \ --stake-authority <KEYPAIR> --new-stake-authority <PUBKEY> \ --fee-payer <KEYPAIR>– KarimCommented Nov 30, 2023 at 12:51

Ohhhhh, I didn't mean to create a stake account, I meant that I wanted to set a staking account. Sorry for the confusion lol– KarimCommented Nov 30, 2023 at 12:56

You would be able to use the JSON file that you create in all the places where you have <KEYPAIR> in your above example.– owen.solCommented Nov 30, 2023 at 13:57
