Wallet security: 10 rules
A short list to check your own defences.
Rules
- Seed phrase only on paper or metal, only offline.
- Never photograph or forward the phrase or keys.
- Keep large sums on a hardware wallet.
- Download wallets only from official sites and check the address.
- Open exchanges only from a bookmark.
- Two-factor authentication through an app.
- A separate email for the exchange and wallet.
- Read what you sign in the wallet and revoke unneeded permissions from time to time.
- Send a small test amount to a new address first.
- Never give the phrase to anyone: not "support", not a "helper".
