# Security Setup

### Export Nighthawk private key 

Before continuing, be sure you’ve backed up the private key for your Nighthawk wallet. Never store private keys or seed phrases in plain text on your computer, and always use safe and secure storage. 

We physically cannot recover or retrieve your private key or seed phrase.

### Activate Two-Factor Authentication (optional)

If you don’t currently use it, we strongly recommend activating Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) in your BONKbot account. During setup you’ll be given a backup key for this 2FA method which you should store safely and securely. 

We physically cannot recover or disable Two-Factor Authentication for you.
