Keeping My Metamask Account SAFE
Source
There has most certainly been a lot of attempts made to get details about my Wallet and other information and as much as I would like to keep everything SAFE sometimes there might be a chance it doesn't so here are some checks that I make sure are ticked on when it comes to my METAMASK Wallet.
CONNECTED WEBSITES
If you are using your Metamask Wallet to access various projects that please do check which of those Websites currently do hold access to your Wallet. You can do that by simply clicking on the top right corner of the Metamask Wallet and checking the Connected Websites tab.
Once there you can easily check all the websites that have access to your Wallet in some form and if you want you can revoke those access with a simple click.
SEED PHRASE
I know this is a given one but still, I feel like I should tell you guys that giving your SEED PHRASE to someone even for safekeeping is strictly a No-No here. Seed Phrase is the thing that can give complete access of your METAMASK WALLET to someone else so make sure to keep it safe and to yourself. It is also suggested to keep the SEED PHRASE off of any emails or any Online Tools, it is better to keep it written on a piece of paper or a DIARY.
WIFI
I usually don't connect to Public Wifi's but if you are someone who uses Public Wifi on a regular basis then try to use a VPN to anonymize yourself as that can possibly lead to a Hacker looking into your Data via the Wifi of course.
SECONDARY ACCOUNT
I personally use a Secondary Wallet to try out any new Projects as they are yet to be completely vetted and I will really hate to get ripped off of everything that I have while I was trying to earn more. So for new Projects try to use a Secondary Wallet.
2FA
2FA is something that should be enabled for everything, not just Metamask as extra security is never a bad thing for you as it only helps to further protect your system from Hackers. Yes, it could be a tad bit annoying to put a phrase every time you Log in but that's the price you pay for some better Security.
I HOPE ALL OF YOU GUYS FOLLOW SUCH SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
Hi @arunava, very good advice, we should all use our wallet consciously, especially Metamask, which due to its popularity has become the target of most of the attacks, that's why we should be very cautious.
Hello friend @arunava.
With the amount of problems that have been generated lately regarding the theft of digital wallets, it has been a problem for many people who have lost their resources without realizing it, and that is why we must know how to protect our wallets, to prevent them from stealing our resources.
