Why strong login matters
Your account login is the first and most critical defense for your crypto holdings. A single compromised sign-in can lead to unauthorized trades or withdrawals, loss of access, and lengthy recovery. Layered security — unique passwords, two-factor authentication, device controls, and active monitoring — reduces risk and keeps recovery straightforward.
Practical steps
- Use a password manager to create and store long, unique passwords for every service.
- Enable an authenticator app (TOTP) or a hardware security key for 2FA — both beat SMS for security.
- Keep printed or metal backup codes in a secure offline location — never store backups in cloud notes or screenshots.
Session & device hygiene
Review active sessions and connected devices regularly. Revoke sessions you do not recognize and sign out of devices you no longer use. Treat session tokens and "remembered devices" as sensitive assets.
Quick tip: If you suspect malicious activity, change your password from a safe device, revoke all sessions, and contact verified support immediately.
