Steps and considerations
Understand the differences among private keys, recovery phrases and public addresses. Before you begin, check that your environment is trustworthy and avoid making irreversible decisions under pressure.
Separate public and secret data
Take time to examine the context, and verify information against the source you trust.
Never type a phrase into websites
Keep sensitive credentials out of websites, chats, screenshots and unsolicited support sessions.
Check your backup
Review the result independently; stop and investigate if anything differs from your expectation.
