Exchange Security Tips to Protect Your Crypto Accounts
Use hardware security keys for two-factor authentication, give each exchange its own email address, and store unique strong passwords in a password manager. Never use your phone number for 2FA, since phone-based codes are open to SIM-swapping attacks that can hand attackers your account. Make your security key the only 2FA method allowed on your email account, because email is the recovery point for the rest of your services. Also turn on withdrawal whitelisting on every exchange so funds can only move to addresses you have pre-approved, and add your most-used wallets to reduce waiting time. For coins you are not actively trading, move them to a hardware wallet such as a ledger for offline storage. Users also suggest pairing the hardware wallet with metamask to interact with dapps and protocols instead of creating a new metamask-based wallet.
