Praveen Perera, the independent researcher who had earlier confirmed key recovery, reminds migrating owners to verify their passphrase by checking the wallet fingerprint after a power cycle and to keep multisig descriptors backed up safely. He notes that without descriptors a 2 of 3 wallet becomes effectively a 3 of 3. Held as dated incident-response guidance from a named responder. The recommendations are the poster's own and are not independently verified here.
