Best Practices for Account Security

Engaging in the world of cryptocurrencies requires a mindful approach to ensure the security and integrity of your assets. Here are key best practices to enhance your crypto experience.

Key best practices

Do not connect from occasional devices

Avoid connecting to your accounts from occasional devices to mitigate security risks. Unknown devices may lack essential security measures, increasing the likelihood of unauthorized access and potential breaches. Stick to trusted and secure devices to ensure the safety of your digital assets and personal information.

IMPORTANT

Never share your password with anyone. It's important to note that Flyingfox employees will never request your password.

Protect your Email address Your email is the main connection to your Flyingfox account, used for essential communications and security verifications. here’s some ways to enhance its security:
  • Check if your email was compromised https://haveibeenpwned.com/
  • Verify the recovery emails or phone numbers associated with your account are under your control.
  • Check the list of recognized devices in your account settings, investigating any unfamiliar ones.

Activate 2-Factor authentication
