Ensuring the safety of your investments is not just good practice, it’s essential. While we do all we can to secure your account, you can help by activating these key security features available in the app.
In this article, we delve into these features and why it’s crucial to enable them.
Dynamic password
When it comes to securing your crypto, your password is the first line of defence against criminals. Use a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters, and avoid using dates like your birthday or common words, which are like cheat codes for criminals.
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
Two-factor authentication is like having an extra lock on your digital vault. With 2FA enabled, accessing your Luno account requires not only your password but also a secondary, time-sensitive code. This additional layer of protection ensures that even if someone gets access to your password, they won’t be able to breach your account without the second one.
Biometric authentication
Biometric identification such as facial recognition adds an extra layer of security to your account. When you open the Luno app or confirm transactions, your unique facial image is the key unlocking your account.
This feature offers a convenient and quick way to access your account securely. It protects against unauthorised logins because even if someone gains access to your password, without your face they are unable to access anything.
Trusted device notifications
Keeping tabs on the devices accessing your Luno account is essential. The trusted device feature allows you to receive notifications when unfamiliar devices attempt to access your account. This means you can quickly spot any unauthorised access and take immediate action to protect your crypto.
Why activate these features?
These extra layers of protection go a long way in ensuring your crypto remains secure.
