7 Essential steps to keep your Crypto Wallet Secure
With the advancement of technology in the world, we have changed for the better, but this has increased our personal responsibility to maintain online safety. Today we see a growing crypto phishing attempt in which bad actors attempt to con the innocent.
Want to know what best practices should be taken to safeguard your valuable
cryptocurrency assets? Let's see here how to stay safe and protect your funds.
1. Start with a Secure Foundation for Your Wallet.
Make sure your device is free of any malware and never install
Trust Wallet to a rooted device. To ensure you always use the original version of Trust Wallet, you must download the App exclusively from the link provided on our website: trustwallet.com
2. Do Not Share Your Recovery Phrase or Private Key with Anyone.
Your funds will only be safe if you keep the recovery phrase, never share it with anyone. Keeping it confidential and secure is of utmost importance to protect your wallet from unauthorized access.
3. Save an Offline Copy of your Recovery Phrases.
Always keep a copy of the recovery phrase on offline storage! Writing it down on a piece of paper is the easiest solution. Encrypted text files, stored on the USB drive, also work. With the help of "Password Manager," you can save digital backups of recovery phrases (and any other password you choose) into one encrypted file which you can store on one - or several -
USB drives.
4. Share and Protect Your Assets. At Cold's place, Hot's place.
Use cold storage or
hardware wallets to store your cryptos in bulk and for your daily needs & for smaller amounts you can use hot wallets like
Trust Wallet.
5. One Wallet, One Recovery Phrase
Don't use the same recovery phrase for different wallets. Best practice is to always use one recovery phrase per wallet.
6. No Reset or Recovery Process. Always Keep a Backup.
Remember to always keep a backup copy of the
recovery phrase. If your phone is damaged, stolen, lost, or the app is accidentally deleted, your wallet can always be recovered on another phone using the recovery phrase. There is no reset or restore process; losing your phrase means losing your funds!
7. Add Overlay, Enable Passcode or Touch / Face ID.
To ensure that only you have access to the
Trust Wallet Mobile App, be sure to add a second level of authentication such as a Passcode or Touch / Face ID to access your funds on
Trust Wallet.
