Why would you not recommend it then?
Because

  • it is not deterministic: A deterministic wallet is a system of deriving keys from a single starting point known as a seed. [1]
  • require regular backups.
  • viruses in the blockchain: Although these viruses do not infect your device but are incompatible with the antivirus software, which causes problems in the wallet
  • difficult to use for beginners
All these things do not apply to who asked the question so I did not recommend it. Smiley
