Dear Members of the Deriv Community,

Clients should ensure to secure their own account by following the below:

- Use a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols in your password.

- Avoid using easily guessable information such as birthdates, names, and common words as passwords. Using strong and varied passwords is a crucial aspect of keeping your accounts and personal information secure.

- Use a secure web browser such as Google Chrome. Always install the latest software updates because they include security patches.

- Keep your login details secure and enable two-factor authentication 6 to prevent unauthorised usage of your account.

- Use antivirus and firewalls to further secure your devices.

If you have any questions, please visit our Help Centre or contact us via Live Chat and WhatsApp.
