Here's the most crucial step! Make sure to write down your Recovery Phrase accurately and store it securely. Here are some recommended storage practices:
Offline Storage: Never store your Recovery Phrase on any internet-connected device. Opt for a physical copy written on a piece of paper. Consider using fireproof and waterproof materials for added protection.
Multiple Copies: Create multiple backups of your Recovery Phrase and store them in separate secure locations. This ensures redundancy in case one copy gets misplaced.
Memorize (Optional): For advanced users, memorizing your Recovery Phrase can be an additional layer of security. However, ensure you don't share this memorized phrase with anyone.
Never Share Your Recovery Phrase!
Remember, your Recovery Phrase grants complete control over your account. Sharing it with anyone, including supposed customer support agents or friends, compromises your account's security and risks the loss of your cryptocurrency. Our platform will never ask for your Recovery Phrase under any circumstances.
