Protect your crypto wallet: a practical checklist

Good security relies on several small safeguards. No single feature protects against every mistake or attack.

Protect your recovery phrase

Keep your recovery phrase offline and never share it in chat, email or a form. Legitimate support staff will not ask for it. Avoid cloud storage and photos that are automatically backed up.

Verify every transfer

Check the recipient address, network and amount on your device's screen. Start with a small test transaction when using a new address or service.

Limit the impact of a compromise

Use unique passwords and strong two-factor authentication. Keep long-term holdings separate from the wallet you use regularly, and keep software up to date.

Important risk information

Crypto assets can fluctuate significantly in value. Check information across multiple sources and make decisions based on your own financial situation and risk tolerance.
