Security checklist
Before you connect:
- Confirm you're on the legitimate site you trust (bookmark trusted pages).
- Never type or paste your recovery seed into a website or browser.
- Verify your hardware device's firmware and screen messages match the host application.
- Use a strong PIN and keep your passphrase secret if you use one.
If anything about the device's screen looks suspicious, disconnect immediately and check for official support channels published by your device vendor.
