Account Security Best Practices

Your Bitcoin is only as secure as the devices, passwords, and accounts protecting it. Following a few simple security habits can help reduce the risk of unauthorized access or scams.


πŸ”‘ Use a Strong, Unique Password

Your 1Bitcoin.ca password should:

  • be at least 12 characters long

  • include letters, numbers, and symbols

  • be different from passwords used on other websites

Using a password manager can help securely store your login information.

Popular password managers include:

  • 1Password

  • Bitwarden


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

For additional security:

  1. Go to Settings > Security

  2. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

  3. Connect an authenticator app

Popular authenticator apps include:

  • Google Authenticator

  • Authy

2FA adds an extra layer of protection even if your password becomes compromised.


⚠️ Watch Out for Phishing

Always make sure you are logging into:

Be cautious of:

  • fake websites

  • suspicious emails

  • social media impersonators

  • fake ads pretending to be 1Bitcoin.ca

⚠️ 1Bitcoin.ca will never ask for:

  • your password

  • your 2FA code

  • your seed phrase
