Beyond standard security features like 2FA and KYC/AML, you might want to take other steps to protect your MEXC account. For two-factor authentication, hardware security keys like YubiKey or Ledger Nano are better than SMS or Google Authenticator at protecting you from phishing and man-in-the-middle attacks.
In contrast to online wallets (Ledger, Trezor) and paper wallets, cold storage methods keep a large portion of your crypto assets offline, reducing your exposure to online vulnerabilities. This makes them safer and better for long-term holdings.
Using multi-signature wallets raises the level of security by requiring approval from multiple trusted parties for withdrawals. This is especially helpful for bigger transactions. Protect yourself from phishing scams, use strong password hygiene, and use a password manager to store and create complex passwords safely.
Utilize IP whitelisting on MEXC to limit login attempts to trusted IP addresses, thereby reducing unauthorized access even more. Seek out any strange activity and changes to your account's security settings on a regular basis. Some more tips are to enable anti-phishing codes, use the "Freeze Account" feature for possible breaches, keep 2FA recovery codes offline, and immediately notify MEXC customer service of any security issues.
