Protect an exchange account
A resilient account needs separate login, recovery and withdrawal controls. Features vary by exchange; check the account’s own security settings.
Practical steps
Protect the login
Use a unique password stored securely, plus MFA where supported. Prefer a phishing-resistant option when available.
Plan recovery
Keep recovery material away from routine sign-in devices. Test the official recovery instructions before an emergency; never share a recovery phrase with support impersonators.
Review access and withdrawals
Review active sessions and API permissions. Remove unneeded keys, avoid unnecessary withdrawal permissions and use available withdrawal address controls.
Controls and their limits
| Control | Purpose | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| MFA | Additional sign-in verification | Recovery and phishing risks remain |
| HTTPS | Encrypt data in transit | Does not establish an honest operator |
| VPN | Route the connection through a provider | Does not change exchange eligibility |
Common questions
Does a lock icon establish trust?
No. Encryption and the honesty of the site operator are different questions.
Can a security tool change region eligibility?
No. Check account, product and promotion eligibility separately.
Should recovery material be sent to support?
Do not send passwords, recovery phrases or one-time login codes. Use official support to confirm recovery procedures.
Where should the review continue?
Read account security and region rules.
