FeeEyeSecure Your Account: Passwords, 2FA, Email, and Phishing
Harden your account, email, and recovery methods before funding.
After this guide, you should be able to:
- Create non-reused credentials
- Choose a stronger second factor
- Store recovery codes and spot phishing
Secure email before the exchange account
Email often resets a platform password. If email is taken over, a strong exchange password may no longer protect the account.
- Use different long passwords or passkeys for email and the platform.
- Use a password manager to generate and store unique credentials.
- Review email forwarding rules and signed-in devices.
Not all 2FA is equal
Hardware security keys and passkeys are generally more phishing-resistant; authenticator apps are usually preferable to SMS, which can face SIM swaps.
- Never share a one-time code.
- Store recovery codes offline and separately from passwords.
- Understand waiting periods and recovery before enabling withdrawal allowlists.
Before-funding checklist
- Email and platform passwords are unique
- Strongest supported 2FA enabled
- Recovery codes backed up offline
- Official domain bookmarked
- Login and withdrawal alerts enabled
- API keys, sessions, and trusted devices reviewed
- No unknown browser extensions installed
Use knowledge for a check, not an impulse trade
