Give your crypto maximum protection by following these best-practice tips:
- Enable two-factor authentication (2FA): Use an authenticator app rather than SMS when possible. Never share the 2FA codes with anyone, especially potential impersonators that call you and ask for a screenshot, or ask you to share your screen or give them access to your device.
- Use a strong password: One that combines uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. And avoid using the same password on multiple sites.
- Watch out for phishing: Always check the URL of the websites you’re on and the domain of any emails you receive. Never click on suspicious links or attachments.
- Keep your software updated: Make sure you’re on the latest versions of your browser, operating system, and antivirus software.
- Monitor your account activity: Check regularly for suspicious login attempts and withdrawals.
- Enable withdrawal whitelists: Enable address whitelisting so crypto withdrawals are only allowed to approved wallets.
- Keep API keys safe: Treat them like you would your password, never sharing with third parties and removing any that are unused or unnecessary.
- Limit API access: Do not add any API keys if you’re not sure what they mean to you.
