Your account is the gateway to your trading data and broker connections. Keeping it secure is essential for protecting your assets and information.
Password Security Standards #
Flows.Trading implements industry-leading password security measures to protect user accounts.
Password Requirements:
- Minimum 12 characters combining uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and special characters
- Prohibition of common passwords, dictionary words, and personal information
- Regular password rotation recommended (every 90 days)
- Password history enforcement preventing reuse of last 12 passwords
Password Protection:
- Passwords are hashed using industry-standard bcrypt with high work factors
- Salt-based hashing prevents rainbow table attacks
- Secure password reset mechanisms with time-limited tokens (valid for 1 hour)
Pro tip: Use a password manager to generate and store strong, unique passwords. Never reuse passwords across different platforms.
■ Try it now: Review your current password. If it doesn’t meet the criteria above, change it immediately via Settings → Security → Change Password.
Session Management #
How sessions work:
- You remain logged in until you manually log out or your session expires.
- Sessions expire after a period of inactivity (platform-specific timeout).
- Changing your password logs out all other sessions except your current one.
Best practices:
- Always log out when using shared or public computers.
- Don’t save your password in public browsers.
- Close all browser tabs after trading to ensure session cleanup.
