Security Best Practices for Your Deriv Account
Protecting your trading account is crucial. Follow these security best practices to keep your Deriv account safe:
Use a Strong, Unique Password
Create a password that's at least 8 characters long with a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. Never reuse passwords from other sites.
Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
Add an extra layer of security by enabling 2FA in your account settings. This requires a verification code from your mobile device in addition to your password.
Be Wary of Phishing Attempts
Always verify you're on the official Deriv website before logging in. Deriv will never ask for your password via email or phone. When in doubt, type the URL directly in your browser.
Log Out After Each Session
Always log out when you're finished trading, especially on shared or public computers. This prevents unauthorized access to your account.
Regularly Check Account Activity
Monitor your account regularly for any suspicious activity. Check your trading history and account statements to ensure all transactions are legitimate.
