Use a Strong Password

Always use a strong, unique password for your MetaMask wallet. Avoid using easily guessable passwords such as "password123" or your birthdate.

Enable Two-Factor Authentication

Although MetaMask itself does not support two-factor authentication (2FA), you can enhance security by enabling 2FA on your email account and other services associated with your MetaMask activities.

Regularly Update Your Software

Ensure that your browser, MetaMask extension, and mobile app are always up to date. Updates often include important security patches that protect your wallet from vulnerabilities.

Beware of Phishing Attacks

Be cautious of phishing attacks that attempt to steal your seed phrase. Always verify that you are on the official MetaMask website or app before entering any sensitive information.

Store Your Seed Phrase Securely

Your seed phrase is the key to your wallet. Store it in a safe, offline location. Never share your seed phrase with anyone, and avoid storing it digitally where it can be accessed by hackers.
