Protecting the security of your XT account is a shared responsibility. While XT continuously prioritizes user security and implements robust, up-to-date protective measures, you are also encouraged to adopt good security practices. This guide outlines practical tips to help you keep your XT account and digital assets secure.
Use a strong and unique password
Create a password that is complex and used only for your XT account. Avoid using the same password across multiple sites. A strong password should include a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols, and should not contain personal information that can be easily guessed.
Enable two-factor authentication (2FA)
Always enable two-factor authentication for an added layer of security. You can enable a Passkey or Authenticator App, as an alternative to SMS verification to better protect your account. Never share the 2FA codes with anyone, especially impersonators that might call you or request you to provide a screenshot, share your screen or access your device.
Secure your email account
Your email is often the key to account recovery. Ensure that the email linked to your XT account has:
- A strong, unique password
- Two-factor authentication enabled
- No suspicious forwarding rules or recovery emails
Many security incidents begin with a compromised email rather than the exchange account itself.
Activate anti-phishing protection
Enable XT’s anti-phishing code so that all official emails or messages from XT include your custom identifier. This helps you distinguish legitimate communications from phishing attempts and reduces the risk of interacting with fake emails or websites.
Verify official XT channels
Access XT only through the official website or mobile applications downloaded from trusted app stores. Bookmark the official XT website and avoid clicking on links shared through search advertisements, social media comments, or unsolicited messages. XT will never request your password, private keys, or two-factor authentication codes. To confirm whether an email address, website, social media account, or wallet address is legitimately associated with XT, you can use the official XT official verification tool.
Monitor account activity regularly
Review your login history, device management, and transaction records frequently. If you notice unfamiliar devices, locations, or actions, secure your account immediately by changing your password, revoking device access, and contacting XT Support.
Keep your devices secure
Ensure that the devices you use to access XT are protected and up to date. This includes:
- Installing operating system and browser updates
- Using reputable antivirus or security software
- Avoiding public or shared computers when accessing your account
Malware and keyloggers are common causes of account compromise.
Stay alert to common crypto scams
Scammers often impersonate exchange staff, create fake promotions, or pressure users into urgent actions. Legitimate exchanges, including XT, will never request sensitive information or ask users to transfer funds outside the platform. When in doubt, verify directly with XT’s official customer support.
Final note
Security threats in the cryptocurrency space continue to evolve. Following these recommended security practices can significantly reduce your risk and help protect your XT account and digital assets. You are responsible for safeguarding your account credentials and for all activities conducted under your XT account. XT encourages users to remain vigilant and take appropriate security precautions when accessing and using the platform.
