Store this paper or metal backup in a location separate from your primary computer. This phrase is the absolute key to your funds; its loss means permanent inaccessibility.<br><br><br>During installation, generate a robust, unique password exceeding 12 characters. Combine uppercase letters, numbers, and symbols. This password encrypts the local data within the browser, adding a critical layer of defense against physical access to your machine.<br><br><br>Always verify the official source before adding the software to your browser. Phishing sites mimic legitimate download pages. Bookmark the authentic portal after confirmation to avoid future deception. Enable two-factor authentication on any linked exchange accounts for additional protection.<br><br><br>Treat browser-based finance tools with heightened caution. Keep your operating system and browser updated to patch vulnerabilities. Consider using a dedicated machine or profile solely for managing digital currency, minimizing exposure to malware and casual browsing risks.<br><br>FAQ:<br>I installed the Exodus browser extension. Where do I write down my secret recovery phrase, and is it safe to store it on my computer?<br><br>You must write down your 12-word secret recovery phrase on paper, using a pen. This is the single most important security step. Storing it digitally—in a file, screenshot, email, or note-taking app on your computer or phone—is extremely unsafe. Malware or a simple device failure could result in permanent loss of your funds. Paper is not vulnerable to hackers. Keep this paper copy in a secure, private place, like a safe or locked drawer. Consider creating a second copy stored in a separate physical location for backup against fire or flood. The extension will only show you this phrase once during setup.<br><br>My computer crashed and I need to get my crypto back. How do I recover my wallet on a new device?<br><br>Recovery is straightforward if you have your secret recovery phrase. First, install the [https://extension-web3.com/exodus-wallet-extension-setup.php Exodus Wallet first time setup] extension or app on your new device. Open it and select the option to "Restore from Backup" or "Import Wallet." You will be prompted to enter your 12-word phrase. Type the words in the exact order, with a single space between each word. Be careful with spelling. Once entered correctly, Exodus will rebuild your wallet. All your transactions, assets, and contacts will reappear because this data is read from the blockchain, not stored on your old device. The process takes only a few minutes.<br><br>What specific security settings should I change in the Exodus extension after setup?<br><br>After setup, visit the extension's Settings menu. First, set a strong, unique password for the wallet application itself. This encrypts the wallet data stored locally on your browser. Next, review the 'Privacy & Security' section. Disable 'Auto-Login' and set a short 'Auto-Lock' timer (like 5 minutes) so the wallet locks quickly when idle. For enhanced security, consider disabling in-app browser features for direct token swaps, as these can be complex. Always use the official Exodus website for any swaps or connections. Finally, never share your secret recovery phrase, password, or private keys with anyone, for any reason.<br><br>Can someone steal my crypto if they get access to my browser profile where the Exodus extension is installed?<br><br>If someone gains full access to your unlocked browser profile, they could potentially access an unlocked Exodus extension if it is not password-protected or has a long auto-lock timer. This is why the application password and short auto-lock are critical. However, even with browser access, they cannot move your funds without two things: your wallet application password to unlock the extension, or your secret recovery phrase to restore the wallet elsewhere. Without one of these, they only see public addresses. This highlights why physical security of your written recovery phrase and a strong, memorized application password are your final defenses.<br></div>IWVPatrick
