Security Best Practices
. Protecting Your Seed Phrase
Never share your seed phrase with anyone. Store it offline in a secure location such as a safe or a secure password manager. Your seed phrase is the key to your wallet and must be protected.
. Enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
For added security, consider enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) on accounts associated with your MetaMask wallet, such as your email and exchange accounts.
. Regular Updates
Keep your MetaMask extension updated to the latest version. Updates often include security enhancements and new features that improve functionality and safety.
. Phishing Awareness
Be cautious of phishing attempts. Always ensure you are accessing MetaMask through the official website or extension store. Never enter your seed phrase on any website or app other than MetaMask.
