Security Tips Before You Start

New to Bitcoin? A few simple security habits can go a long way toward protecting your account and your Bitcoin.


πŸ”‘ Use a Strong Password

Create a unique password for your 1Bitcoin.ca account that you do not use anywhere else.

Password managers can help securely store your login information.

Popular options include:

  • Bitwarden

  • 1Password


πŸ“± Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Enable 2FA in your account settings for an extra layer of security.

Apps commonly used for 2FA include:

  • Google Authenticator

  • Authy

With 2FA enabled, your password alone will not be enough to access your account.


πŸ‘› Withdraw Bitcoin to Your Own Wallet

For long-term storage, many users choose to move Bitcoin to a wallet they control.

Popular wallet options include:

  • BlueWallet

  • Phoenix

  • Coldcard
