Overview: What should you know about the scenario: How the Device's Secure Element Protects the Private Key from Exposure?

Key takeaway: Your recovery phrase and PIN must never leak. Do every operation on the official device and app, and if something is wrong, stop using the device at once and migrate the assets.

Action steps:

  1. Explain that the private key never leaves the device's secure element.
  2. No software interface ever needs the recovery phrase or PIN.
  3. When connecting to a computer, verify the official app and its certificate.
  4. Never disclose any key material through browser extensions or SMS.
  5. Keep device firmware and apps up to date.

Safety reminder: Anyone asking for your recovery phrase or PIN is a scammer. Never enter the recovery phrase into software or webpages, use only official channels for updates and downloads, and migrate assets and report the incident immediately if anything looks off.
