Security Best Practices

1. Secure Your Seed Phrase

Never share your seed phrase. Store it offline in a secure place like a safe or a secure password manager. Your seed phrase is the key to your wallet.

2. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

For added security, enable 2FA in MetaMask to protect your account from unauthorized access.

3. Regularly Update MetaMask

Keep your MetaMask extension up-to-date to benefit from the latest security features and improvements.

Always verify URLs to ensure you’re on the official MetaMask site or trusted dApps. Be cautious of phishing attempts and never enter your seed phrase anywhere other than MetaMask.
