Keep your keys
to yourself.
Your recovery phrase is the master key to your wallet. Anyone who has it can access your assets. Keep it private, offline, and safe.
Remember this, always.
- Never share your recovery phrase
- Coinbase support will never ask for it
- Verify a site before connecting
- Review transactions before signing
A little caution goes a long way.
