Crypto wallets are your gateway to Web3 — they store private keys, sign transactions, and authenticate you to decentralized applications. A secure login experience is critical: a compromised login or Secret Recovery Phrase means permanent loss of assets. This presentation explains secure login steps, safety rules, and recovery steps every user should know.
Self-custodial wallets differ from custodial services: "logging in" is usually unlocking a locally encrypted vault or restoring access with a Secret Recovery Phrase (SRP). Because keys equal control of assets, every stage — creation, backup, login, and dApp interaction — must be defended.
Create a wallet from the official site or app, record the SRP on paper, use a unique strong password, bookmark the true download page, and avoid connecting on untrusted networks without protection. If you own funds, move them to a new wallet immediately if a compromise is suspected.
Install MetaMask on a clean device, create a fresh wallet, move funds to a new address, revoke token approvals, and consult official support. Never share your SRP — official support will never request it.
Show clear warnings before SRP reveals and signature requests, request minimal permissions by default, visually mark official domains, and include quick support links inside the UI.
Secure access is a combination of secure tools, cautious habits, and vigilance. Use official downloads, keep SRP offline, treat signature requests carefully, and follow official support guidance if something goes wrong.
