Want to trade confidently on the exchange? Then account security must come first. After all, no matter how good the market is, without an account, it’s all useless.



First, let's talk about the registration process. Registering on the official website or legitimate app is more reliable with an email than a phone number. Set a strong password—more than 8 characters, including uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special symbols. Completing identity verification (KYC) is a necessary step: take clear photos of the front and back of your ID, and verify your face. Only then can you unlock core features like fiat trading and withdrawals.

Security reinforcement is key to preventing asset loss. Enable 2FA—Google Authenticator is recommended, avoid using SMS for convenience. Bind your commonly used devices, and disable login on unfamiliar devices. Don’t be lazy with the withdrawal address whitelist—only add wallets you control to minimize the risk of mis-transfers or phishing.

Finally, consider your fund allocation. Keep spot and futures accounts separate for better risk isolation. Transfer large assets to cold wallets, and keep only short-term trading funds on the exchange. For major coins like $BTC, $ETH, and $BNB, which have frequent inflows and outflows, be clear about each transaction.

By paying attention to these details, and then studying market trends and trading strategies, you’ll avoid being tripped up by basic risks.

Whitelist really can't be lazy about it. My friend tried to cut corners and got phished once. Now he's honestly using Google Authenticator.

SMS verification is really a trap, Google Authenticator is awesome, I’m not joking with you all

It's the same old story again, but it really can't be ignored. I almost got phished because I was too lazy to enable 2FA before.

Exactly right, especially the 2FA and whitelist. How many people have fallen for this... I used to take shortcuts and almost lost a sum to a phishing wallet.

Skipping the whitelist step is really not an option. I almost got phished to death before.
