Your Security Checklist
Enable 2FA
Use an authenticator app, not SMS. Hardware keys (YubiKey) are even better.
Use Unique Email
Create a dedicated email for crypto that you don't use elsewhere.
Whitelist Addresses
Enable withdrawal address whitelisting to prevent unauthorized transfers.
Self-Custody Large Amounts
Move significant holdings to a hardware wallet you control.
Ultimate Security: Self-Custody
"Not your keys, not your coins." For maximum security, consider using a hardware wallet where only you control the private keys.
