Security Best Practices
1. Secure Your Seed Phrase
Never share your seed phrase with anyone and store it in a safe and secure location offline. Your seed phrase is the key to your wallet and should be kept confidential at all times.
2. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
For added security, consider enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) on your MetaMask account. This requires an additional verification step, such as a code from an authenticator app, when logging in or conducting transactions.
3. Verify Website URLs
Always double-check the website URLs when accessing cryptocurrency exchanges or dApps through MetaMask to ensure you are on the legitimate website and not a phishing site.
4. Keep Software Updated
Regularly update your MetaMask Chrome Extension and browser to the latest versions to ensure you have the latest security patches and features.
