Understand local key management
Local key management is about credential control. It still depends on device hygiene, offline backups, and careful review of signed actions.

Follow these checks in order
Credential ownership
Understand how wallet secrets differ from a cloud account password.
Secure the device
Use screen lock, system updates, and trusted software before handling credentials.
Plan recovery
An app passcode alone usually cannot restore keys after device loss.
Review interactions
Inspect network, permissions, and destination whenever a signing request appears.
SECURITY BOUNDARY
Knowing when to pause is part of wallet security
If a network, permission, or phrase request differs from what you expected, stop and verify through an independent, trusted channel. Never sign just because of a timer or an urgent message.
Never enter recovery credentials into an unfamiliar page.
