Kraken-beveiliging

Limit what you share. Secure your accounts (email, social, financial) with strong unique passwords and 2FA.

Purchase cryptocurrency only from exchanges that are reputable and have world-class security controls to ensure you actually receive what you are buying. Only keep the amount of cryptocurrency in your account that you can afford to lose in an account hack. Move the rest to a HW wallet.

Tweevoudige verificatie (2FA) is een extra beveiligingslaag voor je Kraken-account. Als je tweevoudige verificatie (2FA) voor aanmelding gebruikt, heb je voor toegang tot je account je gebruikersnaam, wachtwoord en een extra wachtwoordcode nodig die alleen kan worden aangemaakt vanaf een fysiek apparaat dat je bezit.

They serve a different purpose. HW wallets are for long term safe keeping of your crypto private keys associated with the cryptocurrency you want to hold for the long term. HW wallets are kept offline and never connected directly to the internet. SW wallets are used for regular transactions and moving of funds frequently. Never store more crypto or NFTs in your SW wallet than you can afford to lose in a hack.

NFT is an acronym for non-fungible token. Non-fungible means distinct and unduplicatable. NFTs are blockchain-based digital records of ownership and authenticity associated with a piece of media.
