Avoid using public Wi-Fi networks (such as free Wi-Fi at an airport or cafe) to access your wallet, as they can be easily compromised by malicious actors. Always use a secure and private network to access your wallet.

To ensure the security and privacy of your network, consider the following:

  1. Use encryption: Ensure that your network is encrypted using protocols such as WPA2 or WPA3, which can help prevent unauthorized access and keep your data secure.
    ​

  2. Use a strong password: Set a strong password for your network and change it regularly. Avoid using easily guessable passwords such as "password" or "123456".
    ​

  3. Enable network security features: Enable security features such as firewalls and intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDPS) to help protect your network from attacks.
    ​

  4. Use a virtual private network (VPN): Consider using a VPN to encrypt your network traffic and keep your data private when using public Wi-Fi networks.
