Security Best Practices
Protecting your wallet is critical. Here are recommended security measures:
- Never share your seed phrase: This is the “master key” to your account—store it offline and securely.
- Use a strong unique password: Combine numbers, letters, and symbols; do not reuse passwords.
- Enable auto-lock: Set MetaMask to lock after inactivity to prevent unauthorized access.
- Verify URLs: When connecting to DApps, ensure domains are legitimate before approving transactions.
- Use hardware wallets: For large balances, connect a hardware wallet to reduce exposure.
- Watch out for phishing: Avoid clicking suspicious links, unsolicited messages, and always use official sources.
- Update regularly: Keep your MetaMask extension/app up to date to benefit from the latest security fixes.
