If you suspect that someone has accessed the seed phrase of your Tangem Wallet, it is important to take action to protect your funds as soon as possible. Here's what you can do:
1. Transfer funds: Immediately transfer all your funds to another place for a period of time (such as another wallet or exchange). This will allow you to keep your cryptocurrencies safe until you take further action.
2. Reset the cards to factory settings: Resetting them to factory settings erases everything. Before resetting, withdraw all cryptocurrency from the wallet.
Detailed instructions are in our blog: How to reset Tangem Wallet to factory settings.
3. Create a new wallet with a new seed phrase: After all cards are factory reset, you can create a new wallet with a new seed phrase.
4. Improve security: Unlike card-generated keys, the seed phrase is not secure and can be copied or stolen. If someone gains access to your seed phrase, they can access your funds.
It is important to keep your seed phrase in a safe place and follow the basic rules of crypto hygiene:
- Never store your seed phrase online;
- Do not enter it into any app without ensuring it is safe;
- Never give it to anyone, and never lose it.
- Don’t lose your seed phrase.
Don't forget that the safety of your wallet and funds depends on you. Be vigilant and take steps to protect your funds.
Important: This feature applies to the second-generation Tangem Wallets or later.
