Will anyone legitimate ever ask for my seed phrase?

Never. No genuine wallet, no real support agent, no exchange, and no Malairte project member will ever ask you to share your seed phrase or private key. This is the most useful rule in all of crypto security because it has no exceptions. A seed phrase grants complete control of your coins, so any request for it, however official or helpful it appears, is an attempt to steal from you. If a website, app, message, or person asks you to enter or send your recovery phrase, stop immediately and walk away. Treat the request itself as proof of a scam.
