Advanced login security is critical for safeguarding your CEX® account. Beyond passwords, multi-factor authentication (MFA), session monitoring, and device management play a key role. This guide details these strategies to reduce risks and prevent unauthorized access.
Always enable MFA. Hardware keys (FIDO2) offer the strongest protection, followed by TOTP authenticator apps. SMS-based 2FA is less secure but better than nothing. Backup codes should be stored securely offline to recover access if devices are lost.
Only mark devices you control as trusted. Regularly review active sessions and revoke any unfamiliar or unused devices. Limiting trusted devices minimizes exposure if one device is compromised.
Use unique, complex passwords for your account. Avoid reuse across platforms. Consider a password manager to generate and store strong credentials securely.
Use modern browsers with security updates. Avoid public Wi-Fi when signing in, and verify HTTPS and domain authenticity. For extra security, maintain a separate browser profile for financial logins.
Enable login alerts if available. Immediately review unusual login attempts and revoke sessions if necessary. Prompt action can prevent unauthorized access from escalating.
Have backup codes or recovery methods ready before losing access. Follow official recovery channels and avoid sharing credentials with third parties.
Combining strong passwords, MFA, and careful device management creates a layered defense that significantly reduces the risk of account compromise.
