I believe some wallets with seeds can require a ["seed extension", "extension word" or "13th/25th word"](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Seed_phrase#Two-Factor_Seed_Phrases) for recovery. Someone might describe this as an "encryption password" because that is how it is used.

As @redgrittybrick notes, if this is actually a seed extension/passphrase, then you will need your "encryption password" to access your wallet - and hence your bitcoins.

<p>I know my 12 word phrase but can't remember the encryption password. What is the procedure to recover the wallet? How many times can I insert the encryption password wrong before my account gets blocked? I've got several passwords which I'd like to test.</p>
