How do I secure my Fokawa account?

To secure your Fokawa account, follow these best practices:

1. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA):

• Go to the "Account" or "Security" section of your Fokawa account settings.
• Enable 2FA using an authenticator app (e.g., Google Authenticator) or SMS.
• Follow the prompts to set up 2FA, which will require entering a code from the authenticator app or SMS each time you log in.

2. Use a Strong, Unique Password:

• Create a password that is at least 12 characters long and includes a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.
• Avoid using easily guessable information such as birthdays, names, or common words.
• Do not reuse passwords from other accounts.

3. Set Up Anti-Phishing Codes:

• Navigate to the "Account" or "Security" section.
• Set up an anti-phishing code, which will appear in all legitimate emails from Fokawa, helping you identify phishing attempts.

4. Enable Withdrawal Whitelisting:

• In the "Security" settings, enable withdrawal whitelisting.
• Add trusted addresses to your whitelist. Withdrawals will only be allowed to these addresses.

5. Monitor Account Activity:

• Regularly check the "Account Activity" section to review recent logins and actions.
• Report any suspicious activity to Fokawa support immediately.

6. Keep Your Email Secure:

• Use a strong, unique password for your email account.
• Enable 2FA on your email account to add an extra layer of security.

7. Be Wary of Phishing Attempts:

• Do not click on links or download attachments from unknown or suspicious emails.
• Verify the sender's email address and look for your anti-phishing code in legitimate Fokawa emails.

8. Update Software Regularly:

• Keep your computer, browser, and mobile device software up to date to protect against security vulnerabilities.

9. Log Out from Public Devices:

• Always log out of your Fokawa account when using public or shared devices.

10. Secure Your Internet Connection:

• • Use a secure, private internet connection whenever accessing your Fokawa account.
  • Avoid using public Wi-Fi for accessing sensitive accounts without a VPN.

By following these steps, you can enhance the security of your Fokawa account and protect your assets.
