SECURITY BASICS

The desktop app is only one part of the process.

Good wallet security also depends on protecting your recovery information, verifying software sources, and carefully reviewing transactions. Treat unexpected requests for sensitive information as a warning sign.

Never share your recovery phrase

Your recovery phrase is private information. Never send it to websites, support agents, or anyone asking for it.

Protect your PIN

Keep your device PIN private and do not enter it into websites or share it with another person.

Verify every transaction

Check addresses, amounts, networks, and other details on your hardware wallet before approving.
