Your credentials deserve deliberate protection.
Steps and principles
What to review
01
Know the difference
A private key controls an account, a recovery phrase may restore several accounts, and a device password generally protects access on one device.
02
Keep credentials off the web
Never paste keys into forms, emails, messages or cloud notes.
03
Reject fake support
No legitimate support conversation needs your full recovery phrase.
SECURITY NOTE
No single prompt replaces informed judgment
Actual product interfaces and network support may vary. Verify details in the application you are using; this educational preview is not transaction guidance.
