How to keep your account secure: Best practices

 

Why is it important not to give account access to anyone, including family members or friends?

Keeping your account access secure is essential to protect your funds from unauthorized access, theft, or other malicious activities. Giving someone else access to your account, even if they are someone you trust, can increase the risk of your funds being compromised.

Remember that cryptocurrency transactions are irreversible, which means that once a transaction is made, it cannot be undone. Therefore, it is crucial to keep your account access private to prevent unauthorized access and protect your assets.
 

What are the risks of sharing account access?

Sharing your account access can lead to a variety of risks, including theft, loss, or unauthorized access. If someone else has access to your account, they could potentially transfer funds out of your account, change your account settings, or even delete your account. Additionally, sharing your account access could make you vulnerable to phishing attacks or other fraudulent activities that could lead to the theft of your funds or personal information.


What should I do if someone asks me for access to my account?

It is important to remember that you should never share your account access with anyone, even with someone you know well. If someone asks you for your account access, it could be a sign of a scam or fraudulent activity. Be sure to report any suspicious activity and follow our recommendations to protect your account.
