How do I secure my Fokawa account?

To secure your Fokawa account, follow these best practices:

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.

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.

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.

Enable Withdrawal Whitelisting:
- In the "Security" settings, enable withdrawal whitelisting.
- Add trusted addresses to your whitelist. Withdrawals will only be allowed to these addresses.

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

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.

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.

Update Software Regularly:
- Keep your computer, browser, and mobile device software up to date to protect against security vulnerabilities.

Log Out from Public Devices:
- Always log out of your Fokawa account when using public or shared devices.

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.
