9.2 Account Security

2 min read

Your Flows.Trading account is the gateway to your trading data, API connections, and personal information. Protecting it is essential—not only for safeguarding your assets, but also for ensuring a safe and uninterrupted trading workflow.
Flows.Trading applies strict security standards across authentication, encryption, and session management. However, security is always shared: we protect the platform, and you protect your devices and environment.

This page explains how your account is secured, and what you can do to reinforce your protection.

1. Password Security Best Practices #

Your account password is your first and most important line of defense. A strong password prevents unauthorized access, even if an attacker obtains your email or device.

Recommended Password Guidelines #

To maximize protection, we strongly encourage you to use:

  • At least 12 characters

  • A mix of uppercase + lowercase letters

  • Numbers and special characters

  • A password that is unique (never reused on other websites)

  • A password that avoids:

    • Common phrases or dictionary words
    • Personal information (birthdates, names, etc.)
    • Short or predictable patterns

How Flows.Trading Protects Passwords #

Without revealing internal security mechanisms in detail, here is what you can expect:

  • Your password is never stored in plain text.

  • Industry-standard secure hashing and salting techniques are used.

  • All communication with the server is encrypted.

  • Password resets include time-limited, single-use secure tokens.

  • Changing your password immediately invalidates other logged-in sessions.

Pro Tips #

  • Use a password manager to generate and store strong, unique passwords.

  • Do not save your password in public browsers or shared devices.

2. Session Security #

Maintaining secure login sessions is critical—especially if you trade frequently or use multiple devices.

How Sessions Work #

  • You remain logged in until you manually log out or your session expires.

  • Inactivity automatically ends the session after a platform-defined timeout.

  • Changing your password logs out all other sessions immediately (except your current one).

Best Practices #

  • Always log out on shared or public computers.

  • Avoid letting browsers “remember” your password on non-private devices.

  • Close all browser tabs related to Flows.Trading after finishing your session.

  • Enable device-level security: strong local passwords, updated OS, and antivirus protection.

3. Device & Environment Security (Your Responsibility) #

Even with strong platform security, your account can still be at risk if your device is compromised.

To protect yourself:

  • Keep your operating system and browser up to date.

  • Use reputable antivirus and anti-malware tools.

  • Avoid trading on public Wi-Fi or unknown networks.

  • Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on your email provider.

  • Never share screenshots that display personal data or API credentials.

Remember:
If your computer is hacked, no platform can guarantee safety. Your local environment is a critical part of your overall security.

4. Account Recovery & Password Reset Safety #

If you ever lose access to your account:

  1. Go to Forgot Password on the login page.
  2. You’ll receive a secure, time-limited reset link.
  3. After changing your password:

    • All previous sessions are invalidated.

    • You may need to re-authenticate linked features.

Important:
Only use password-reset links that come directly from Flows.Trading. If you ever receive a suspicious email, do not click anything—contact support first.

5. Additional Recommendations #

To further strengthen your account security:

  • Enable security notifications in your email (new logins, password changes).

  • Review your account activity regularly.

  • Never share your login credentials—not even with support staff.

  • Use unique passwords for your email and Flows.Trading (never identical).

  • Avoid browser extensions that can read page content.

6. Summary #

Flows.Trading applies high security standards to protect your account on the platform side—but your device security and password hygiene are just as important. By following these best practices, you ensure a safe and reliable trading experience.

Your security is a partnership:
We protect the platform. You protect your environment. Together, we keep your account safe.
