Account security
A practical security and recovery plan for readers evaluating the selected exchange.
The editorial priority is a balanced decision across fees, product access, account security, custody controls and withdrawal testing. Readers checking Ukraine should also document UAH funding costs, the onboarding entity and product-specific restrictions. The primary platform scope is the compared platforms. For a multi-platform review, use the same order size, pair, funding route and security checklist so the comparison measures like-for-like conditions. This guide records the source date and treats the logged-in account screen as the final authority for fees.
Phishing-resistant authentication
Prefer a passkey where available. If using an authenticator, keep the recovery key offline and do not send codes to support agents.
Withdrawal protection
Enable an address allowlist, withdrawal lock and confirmation delay where available. Recheck the exact network before approving.
Session review
Review active devices, API keys and account sessions after travel, device replacement or a suspicious notification.
Recovery record
Document the account entity, support route and identity-recovery requirements that apply to residents of Ukraine.
Incident response
If account access changes unexpectedly, stop deposits and trading, secure the connected email account, revoke API keys and use the published support route.
Threat model
Separate account, device and transaction risk
A strong password does not protect against a wrong deposit network, a malicious application or an exposed API key. Review each control independently.
