6. Secure the account
Your first security goal is to make account takeover hard. Turn on authenticator-app 2FA, set an anti-phishing code if the exchange supports it, and add a withdrawal whitelist before holding meaningful balances.
Progress: 0/7
Steps
- Use an authenticator app rather than SMS when the venue supports it.
- Set an anti-phishing code so real exchange emails show a word only you chose.
- Add withdrawal whitelist addresses slowly and test them with a small transfer first.
Common mistakes
- Reusing your email password as the exchange password.
- Ignoring whitelist and anti-phishing tools until after the account holds a large balance.
