š Have you secured your crypto centralized exchange?
š”ļø There are 3 layers of security to be applied on securing your crypto centralized exchange:
Layer 1:
Find a reputable exchange with a great history, team, and founder. Remember humans are a great investment because we trade with other humans. š„
Place a strong password on your CEX, make sure it is not only 8 words or signs, the longer the better, and donāt use the same password on any other of your accounts. š
If there is an update on the CEX application, please update it as they might reduce bugs or add extra security. š²
Layer 2:
Once you are done with layer 1, now it's time to set up your 2FA (two-factor authentication).
SMS 2FA is no longer safe and not recommended anymore due to the possibility of SIM swap. šµ
Email 2FA is better than SMS. Make sure you use a 2FA app on your email instead of SMS 2FA. š§
Application 2FA is more sophisticated compared to SMS or email 2FA. Examples are Google Authenticator or Authy. š
Layer 3:
Biometrics are used to prevent other people from using your ID, for instance, face biometrics or fingerprint. š¤
YubiKey is the highest level of security that you may need as your account goes higher. This is a physical key that needs to be plugged when you enter your account, so other people canāt enter your account without it. Compared to all 2FA that are available in layer 2 that are free to access and create without buying anything, YubiKey needs additional investment as it has a price tag on it and makes your account more secure. šš
š Notes: This is for CEX security only. If you are heavily into DeFi, we recommend using a hardware wallet and remembering where you place your key. š”
