Does changing my wallet password change my seed phrase?

Generally no. An app password or device PIN controls local access, while a recovery phrase determines the underlying cryptographic accounts.

The answer

Generally no. An app password or device PIN controls local access, while a recovery phrase determines the underlying cryptographic accounts.

What to do next

If the seed itself is exposed, create a fresh wallet with a new phrase and move the assets. Simply changing the app password does not revoke the old phrase.
