1
Open official site or app
Use bookmarks or official app stores. Confirm domain (SSL padlock) and avoid links from untrusted sources.
2
Enter credentials
Type your email and password carefully; use password managers to paste securely and avoid keyloggers on shared machines.
3
Complete verification
If prompted, complete 2FA (TOTP/hardware key) or verify via email/mobile depending on the exchange's flow.
4
Review session & security settings
Enable login alerts, check approved devices, and set withdrawal whitelist if available.
Identity verification
Many CEXs require KYC for higher limits — prepare valid ID, selfie verification, and any requested documents. Never send seed phrases or passwords during verification.
