Account security: ten simple habits that prevent disasters
This post is also available in Persian ←
From unique passwords and two-factor auth to session reviews and phishing awareness; a practical trading-account security checklist.
Account security is the precondition of any profitability; a leaked account makes even the best strategy meaningless. Ten basic habits:
The ten habits
- A unique, strong password per service; never reused.
- Two-factor authentication enabled.
- Log in only at the official address, never from chat or email links.
- Review active sessions and devices.
- Keep your system and browser updated.
- The investor password is for viewing, not the master password for trading.
- Never run a “free EA” executable from an unknown source.
- Do not send account details in chats.
- Real support never asks for your password or second-factor code.
- Be suspicious of “urgent opportunities”; urgency is a pressure tool.
Full guide: account security and verification.
Frequently asked questions
Who should I give the investor password to? To whoever you want to see your report; it is view-only with no withdrawal or trading power. For a manager under evaluation, this password is enough.
Should I install a free EA? Only from a trusted source and after review; an anonymous executable is a back door onto your system.
I forgot a login on another phone — what now? Check active sessions, end the unknown ones, then change your password.
What does a strong password mean? Long, unique and unguessable; a combination used in exactly one place, unrelated to your public information. The strongest password is one that appears in no dictionary, no leak list and no guess. And above it: two-factor.
