Tips For Keeping Your Account Safe

With the rising threat of cybercrime and the fear of crypto exchange hacks, we believe in doing things differently. That’s why we never hold any of your cryptocurrencies – they belong to you and are secured by you.

How to Keep Your Account Safe

We take extensive measures to protect our customers and keep our platform safe.

Remember, Plutus staff will never ask for your password or 2-factor authentication (2FA) codes.

If anyone claiming to be from Plutus requests this information, notify us immediately HERE

Here are some recommended security tips to ensure your Plutus account remains safe:

1. Use 2FA: Always enable 2FA. Follow our guide to set it up.
2. Hold Your Private Keys: Always keep the private keys to your crypto wallets.
3. Avoid Storing Crypto on Exchanges: Keeping large amounts on exchanges can be risky.
4. Use Cold Storage: For larger amounts, use cold storage. Paper is good, metal is even better.
5. Strong Passwords: Use a password that is at least 8 characters long, mixing symbols, numbers, and upper and lower case letters.
6. Secure Your Email: Your email is the gateway to your account; ensure it’s secure.
7. Create Back-Ups: Back up your data on multiple devices or mediums.
8. Avoid Unknown USB Sticks: Do not use USB sticks of unknown origin or purpose.
9. Avoid Public Wi-Fi: Don’t use public Wi-Fi in untrusted locations.
