There is a function

export function createIdentityRecoveryRequest(
    input: IdentityRecoveryRequestInput
): Versioned<IdRecoveryRequest>

which you use to generate the request for recovering the identity. This in particular takes a seed phrase as an argument.

This is how it is then used (this code examples if from the browser wallet)


function getRecoverUrl(inputs: RecoveryInputs, provider: IdentityProvider) {
    const timestamp = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000);
    const idRecoveryRequest = createIdentityRecoveryRequest({ ...inputs, timestamp, ipInfo: provider.ipInfo });

    const searchParams = new URLSearchParams({
        state: JSON.stringify({ idRecoveryRequest }),
    });
    return `${provider.metadata.recoveryStart}?${searchParams.toString()}`;
}

This construct the recovery URL, query it then and if there is an identity with those credentials the IDP will return the identity object.
