Each vault has its own
Every vault has its own pattern and its own 12 words. The phrase screen shows the vault’s name, so you can write that name on the paper.
Forgot your pattern? Your 12 words get you back in.
When you set up a vault, Underlock gives you a recovery phrase: 12 words you write on paper. If you ever forget your pattern, those 12 words open your vault. Then you choose a new pattern.
