Crypto security before the first transaction

Crypto trades 24/7, but security mistakes also work 24/7. Before buying anything, prepare the account, passwords and a simple capital protection rule.

01

Separate investing from logging in

Use a strong, unique password and a password manager. A password from email or another service should not be reused on an exchange.

02

Enable 2FA

Two-factor authentication is mandatory. An authenticator app is usually safer than SMS.

03

Do not click under pressure

Fake links, support impersonation and “urgent” messages are classic sources of losses. Open an exchange from your own bookmark.

04

Understand stablecoins

A stablecoin is not cash in a bank. Check what you hold, where you hold it and what risk you take.

05

Do not move everything at once

For the first transfer, send a small test amount. Increase the transfer only after confirming address and network.

06

Do not show your balance

Publicly showing a portfolio increases attack risk. Discretion is part of capital management.

Simplest rule

If someone pressures you to act immediately, stop. The market can wait, but wrongly sent funds often cannot be recovered.

Next step Make a security checklist before using a larger amount.

Then return to prices and the report. Access protection first, market decision second.
