Seed phrase, 2FA and phishing: security fundamentals

Three essential concepts for understanding account and wallet security

Seed phrase

A recovery phrase can make it possible to reconstruct a compatible wallet. It is therefore highly sensitive information, not a normal support or verification credential.

Two-factor authentication

2FA adds a second check when accessing an account. Different methods provide different levels of resistance to certain attacks.

Phishing

Phishing imitates legitimate pages, messages or identities to obtain credentials. Learning to recognize domains, unusual requests and urgent messages is part of good digital hygiene.

What does it mean to sign a blockchain interaction?

A cryptographic signature can authorize different actions. Understanding permissions, signature messages and contracts helps explain what a wallet is requesting.
