Security Best Practices

Protecting Your Recovery Phrase

Your recovery phrase is crucial for accessing your wallet. Store it securely offline and never share it with anyone. Trust Wallet will never ask for your recovery phrase.

Using Strong Passwords

Set a strong, unique password for your wallet to prevent unauthorized access. Avoid using easily guessable information and consider using a password manager to generate and store your passwords securely.

Enabling Two-Factor Authentication

Where possible, enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for an added layer of security. This can help protect your account from unauthorized access, even if your password is compromised.
