When it comes to crypto, security can not be overemphasized. While we work hard behind the scenes to keep your assets safe, we have rounded up the best security advice from our team on best practices when it comes to transacting on Gate.io
As Gatekeepers, we all have the power to keep the Gate.io community safe and assets secure. As with all things on the internet, keeping crypto safe begins with following the internet's best practices.

## Always use strong passwords
As an internet citizen, the first rule of thumb is to keep your passwords safe. Passwords are the keys to your digital life. They protect your personal information, your bank account, and all of your online accounts. A strong password is a password that is difficult to guess or crack. It should be at least 8 characters long and contain a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols. It should not be something that can be found in the dictionary or something that you use for other accounts. If you need a secure place to store your passwords, use a secure password manager.

## Complete your KYC registration 
The KYC process is a necessary step in the process of registering for an account on Gate.io. It stands for Know Your Customer and it is designed to verify your identity and prevent fraud.
To complete the KYC process, you will fill out a form with your personal information, upload identification documents, and wait for the verification to be completed. The verification is thoroughly designed to protect all our customers.

## Enable 2-factor authentication for all logins
2-factor authentication is a security mechanism that uses two different factors to authenticate a user. This means that users are required to provide two sets of information for access to a particular service. 2FA helps to add an extra layer of security to your Gate.io account. We recommend using Google 2FA for faster confirmations.

## Ensure you have a secure internet connection
Be wary of using public networks when logging into your account. Make sure your home network is secure with a password and consider the use of a Virtual Private Network (VPN) for added internet security.

## Download from the right source
When downloading the Gate.io app on any of your devices, make sure that you download the app straight from the source. Always use the links on the official Gate.io website to download the app or cross-check the application on the app store to confirm.

## Make sure your email is secure
Always use a secure email for signing up on Gate.io. If your email is easily compromised, hackers can get into your email and receive 2FA alerts needed to access your account. Remember, the key to keeping your assets safe is staying safe on the internet

## Don't click on any suspicious links or messages 
This is a very important point. Most scams and phishing attacks occur because we give them the chance. Do not click on any suspicious-looking links, emails, or websites for any reason. If you need to confirm the validity of any offer, you can reach out to the Gate.io community team on our official social media platforms.

### Conclusion
It's well within our power to keep our assets safe and Gate.io empowers you to do that. The Gate.io team needs you to play your part in safeguarding your assets, while we work tirelessly to bring you the best blockchain and crypto experience.

At Gate.io we have implemented several security measures and partnerships to ensure that our services are not within the reach of bad actors in the ecosystem. With nine years of secure financial services under our belt, we are more than proud to continue serving you.
