How to Use a Crypto Wallet | Security Best Practices

1. Enable 2FA: Use two-factor authentication to secure wallet access.This adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second form of authentication (like a one-time code generated by an app) in addition to your password.
   

2. Protect Private Keys/Seed Phrases: Keep these offline in a secure, physical location. Never share them.
   

3. Beware of Phishing: Phishing is a common way attackers trick you into revealing private keys or login credentials. Be careful with emails, websites, or messages that ask for sensitive information. Avoid clicking suspicious links or emails asking for wallet details.
   

4. Backup Your Wallet: Regularly backup your wallet and store backups securely.
   

5. Avoid Public Wi-Fi: Don’t access wallets over public networks. If you must use public Wi-Fi, ensure you use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to encrypt your internet connection.
   

6. Update Software: Keep wallet software and devices up to date with the latest security patches.

Monitor Activity: Regularly check for suspicious activity or unauthorized access. Set up notifications (if possible) to alert you of logins, withdrawals, or any unauthorized attempts to access your wallet.
