š #StaySAFU: Protect Yourself While Trading on Binance
In the fast-moving world of crypto, one thing should always come first:
*Security.*
No matter how advanced your trading strategy is, it means nothing if your funds arenāt safe. Thatās why Binance created the #StaySAFU initiative ā to help users stay secure in Web3.
Hereās how YOU can #StaySAFU on Binance and beyond:
---
1. š”ļø Enable 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication)
This is your first line of defense.
ā Use *Google Authenticator* or *YubiKey*
ā Avoid using SMS-based 2FA (itās vulnerable to SIM swapping)
---
2. š§ Beware of Phishing Scams
If it looks suspicious, it probably is.
š« Never click random links on emails, Twitter, or Telegram
ā Always double-check the *URL*: it should be `binance.com`, not `binnance.net`, etc.
---
3. š Use a Strong & Unique Password
Your password should be:
- Long (12+ characters)
- Unique (not reused from other sites)
- Complex (mix of letters, numbers, symbols)
ā Consider using a *password manager* like Bitwarden or 1Password.
4. š¬ Watch for Fake Customer Support
Binance will *never DM you first* or ask for your private keys.
š« If someone messages you offering help ā itās a scam.
ā Always reach out to *official Binance support* through the app or website.
---
5. š Use Anti-Phishing Code in Binance
Enable your *anti-phishing code* in your Binance account settings. It adds a unique phrase to all official Binance emails so you know theyāre legit.
ā Quick to set up, powerful for protection.

6. šø Be Cautious with DApps & Wallet Connections
If you're using Web3 wallets like Trust Wallet or MetaMask:
š« Donāt connect to unknown DApps
ā Revoke token approvals regularly
ā Use *WalletConnect* or hardware wallets when possible
---
7. š Keep Software & Devices Updated
Hackers exploit outdated software. Always update:
- Binance app
- Your browser
- Operating system (Windows/macOS/iOS/Android)
ā Turn on auto-updates when possible.
