FAQ
Questions worth answering

Storing keys offline differs from checking balances or broadcasting transactions, which may require network access. Follow the security model of your device.
Record it accurately offline and protect it from screenshots, cloud syncing, messaging apps and untrusted forms.
A private key authorizes signatures for an account, while a recovery phrase often reconstructs a collection of keys. Both must remain secret.
