The essentials
Learn why offline credential storage matters and where it fits alongside day-to-day wallet usage.
01
Prepare
Offline storage reduces exposure of sensitive credentials; it does not remove every risk.
02
Review
A connected wallet can help with daily tasks, but every signing request deserves review.
03
Verify
Protect backups from physical damage and separate them from everyday devices.
04
Follow through
Revisit your device-loss and recovery plan; ignore offers to verify keys remotely.
A useful safety boundary
Protecting wallet credentials is a personal responsibility. No message, call, or website verification request justifies disclosing a private key or recovery phrase.
