Danger
Anyone with your mnemonic phrase can access your money, and there is no recourse for someone stealing your mnemonic phrase. To protect your mnemonic phrase, consider the following tips:
- Never save or store your mnemonic phrase as a digital file on any device.
- Always write down your mnemonic phrase with a pen and paper.
- Store the paper with your mnemonic phrase on it somewhere safe.
- Never give your mnemonic phrase to anyone, not even support staff.
Verify your writing to make sure every word is spelled correctly and in the right order. If you numbered your phrase, it can be helpful to verify it backward.
Check the box ensuring you wrote down your mnemonic phrase, and click Next.
Confirm your mnemonic phrase by typing or selecting the correct words in each prompt.
