How to secure your Binance account?
We need security everywhere, especially in crypto, assets and wallets we need to make sure we don't leave any doors open to bad actors. You account getting compromised may lead you to loose all your assets, savings and investments. In this article today I am going to explain and provide you some suggestions to keep your account safe. I am not a professional cybersecurity expert nor I have experience in cybersecurity before but whatever I am going to explain you today are the basic things that an user should keep in mind regardless of them being a cybersecurity expert or not.
1. Never share your credentials.
This seems to be very obvious thing but many people seem to either save their credentials in a physical notebook or a virtual text file. This is very risky and easy for an bad actor to extract, since they can directly gain access to your notes by any techniques you nay not be aware of. So the best place to note your credentials is either a password manager or your head. Along with this it is very important that you keep your credentials strong so that no one could crack or guess it.
2. Setup 2FA authentication
Two factor authentication (2FA) will help you keep your account secure even if your credentials are accessed by bad actors. You can setup multiple 2FA methods @Binance.
3. Audit your security logs and mails
If you have strong credentials, 2FA setup in your account and neglect security notifications and emails from Binance, then this may indicate something serious. Sometime even when your account is compromised, you may not know about it. Bad actors may try to tweak your security or other settings that binance will notify you by email. Continuously monitor your inbox for such issues.
4. Seek Help
Even if you did all of the things mentioned above and think that your account is compromised, don't hesitate to report such things to binance. Their team is always working to make the platform more user friendly and secure they will appreciate your effort and may also help you in recovering your lost account...
