Security Best Practices: Your First Line of Defense

At Bitfinex, we prioritize security, but keeping your account safe is a shared responsibility. Following these best practices will significantly reduce the risk of unauthorized access.

Enable 2FA Everywhere: Two-Factor Authentication is non-negotiable. It is the single most effective way to prevent hackers from accessing your account, even if they have your password .
Use Strong, Unique Passwords: Your Bitfinex password should be complex—including uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols—and never reused on other websites .
Monitor Account Activity: Regularly check your account login history and active sessions. If you see a device or location you don't recognize, terminate the session and change your password immediately .
Beware of "Urgent" Requests: Bitfinex will never email you asking for your password or 2FA codes. Treat any urgent request for information with extreme suspicion .
