How To Enhance Account Security
I. Password Security
1. Password Settings: Please set a complex and unique password. For security purposes, make sure to use a password with at least 8 characters, including at least one uppercase and lowercase letter, one number, and one special symbol. Avoid using obvious patterns or information that is easily accessible to others (e.g. your name, email address, birthday, mobile number, etc.).
- Password formats we do not recommend: lihua, 123456, 123456abc, test123, abc123
- Recommended password formats: Q@ng3532!, iehig4g@#1, QQWwfe@242!
2. Changing Passwords: We recommend that you change your password regularly to enhance the security of your account. It is best to change your password every three months and use a completely different password each time. For more secure and convenient password management, we recommend you to use a password manager such as "1Password" or "LastPass".
- In addition, please keep your passwords strictly confidential and do not disclose them to others. MEXC staff will never ask for your password under any circumstances.
3. Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
Linking Google Authenticator: Google Authenticator is a dynamic password tool launched by Google. You are required to use your mobile phone to scan the barcode provided by MEXC or enter the key. Once added, a valid 6-digit authentication code will be generated on the authenticator every 30 seconds. Upon successful linking, you need to enter or paste the 6-digit authentication code displayed on Google Authenticator every time you log in to MEXC.
Linking MEXC Authenticator: You can download and use MEXC Authenticator on App Store or Google Play to enhance the security of your account.

4. Beware of Phishing
Please be vigilant of phishing emails pretending to be from MEXC, and always ensure that the link is the official MEXC website link before logging into your MEXC account. MEXC staff will never ask you for your password, SMS or email verification codes, or Google Authenticator codes.
