Security Best Practices

Security is a continuum: good practices reduce risk but cannot eliminate it. Follow these guidelines with Bitkey to maximize protection.

Security Guidelines

Never store your seed phrase on cloud storage or in plain text on connected devices.

Use a hardware wallet for large balances and recurring withdrawals.

Verify downloads from the official domain and check signatures when available.

Consider multi-location backups (e.g., home safe, safety deposit box) for significant funds.

Periodically test recovery on a non-critical wallet to ensure your backup process works.

Backup & Recovery

Never lose access to your crypto with our secure recovery system. Your unique 12-word recovery phrase ensures you can always restore your wallet, even if you lose your device. Keep it safe and never share it with anyone.
