# Security

> How Maestro keeps your funds safe, where to find your private key and mnemonic, and the steps you must take to protect your wallet.

### Do I need to connect my wallet to the bot?

No. You can generate wallets directly in the bot.

### What security measures has the team taken?

All private keys are AES encrypted, and our servers' security is airtight.

### Are there any security concerns?

The only security concerns revolve around your actions. Make sure your Telegram is secure by enabling two-factor authentication. If you generate a wallet through the bot, do NOT share the private key or mnemonic phrase with anyone else, and only record it using **pen and paper**. **Never copy your wallet's private key or mnemonic phrase to your device's clipboard as this could compromise your wallet.** Your wallet's safety is completely in your hands.

### Where can I find my wallet's private key or mnemonic phrase?

Once you create a wallet through the bot, you will be provided with the wallet's private key and mnemonic phrase. We usually recommend that you write them down using **pen and paper**, and then delete the message from your DMs with the bot. If you lost the private keys and the mnemonic phrase to your wallet, and you've deleted them from your DMs with the bot, **there's unfortunately no other way to retrieve them**. **However, as long as your wallet is connected to the bot, you can still transfer all your assets out of it even if you don't have access to your private keys or mnemonic phrase. In this case, don't disconnect your wallet until you've transferred everything out of it.**

### I see transfers in my wallet that I haven't authorized.

If you're seeing transfers of your chain's native coin to any of the Fee Addresses listed [here](/sniper/faq/fees), those are the 1% bot usage fees being extracted. The minimum withdrawal amount is chain-specific, so please check the [Fees](/sniper/faq/fees) page for the current fee addresses and per-chain minimums before treating these transfers as unauthorized.
