Hardware Wallet Backup Passphrase how do these work?

Looking at getting a hardware wallet but I dont understand how the 20 word passphrase backup works if I loose or the hardware wallet gets damaged? I understand that if I loose my hardware wallet for example I can purchase another and put in my passphrase, but how exactly does the passphrase restore the BTC? When creating the passphrase, does this create an entry into the btc ledger? submitted by /u/whey4395 [link] [comments]
