Blockchain digital wallets exist in order to better protect digital assets. Users have full control of their personal assets. Without users’ consent, third parties cannot access to the assets. Even so, there are still many people who have lost their assets due to their poor knowledge of blockchain digital wallets and improper protection of private keys. When trading digital assets, you can’t just rely on exchanges to store assets, you need to have your own digital wallet. Having the security knowledge of digital wallets is also a necessary step for beginners.
In the process of using a digital wallet, how to securely back up the private key and mnemonic is undoubtedly crucial! But in reality, it is often overlooked, such as the following common situations where digital assets are lost due to improper backup:
The mobile phone with the digital wallet app that has assets in it was accidentally lost. But the owner didn’t backup the mnemonic before. In this case, the digital assets in that app were also lost with the mobile phone. Some users wanted to quickly import the wallet into the new mobile phone, so they used email to transfer the private key. As a result, the wallet was hacked and the assets were lost. To be honest, this kind of situation happens from time to time. Then how to avoid it?

Take DotWallet as an example. DotWallet supports BSV wallet mnemonic backup. The mnemonic is a kind of plaintext private key. It consists of 12 English words.

So as long as the mnemonic words are backed up and stored properly, you can safely manage your digital assets. For beginners, please pay attention to the following suggestions:
1. Try to use physical media as much as possible. For example, copy it on paper with a pen and store it in a safe place.
2. Try to avoid taking screenshots or photos, and attachingthe photos containing the mnemonic phrase in your email or keeping it on the online storage to prevent hackers from stealing them.
3. Be sure to repeatedly confirm whether the mnemonic phrase backup is correct, any mistake will lead to the failure ofrestoringthe wallet assets.
In the general sense, bank cards are issued by a centralized bank that performs asset management. If the password is lost, the bank can help you retrieve it. But it is not the same case for blockchain digital wallet. If you lose the wallet’s private key or mnemonic, then the assets cannot be retrieved. So please make sure to keep the private key and mnemonic properly. DotWallet always supports users to full control their private keys.
