Presentation • Smart Habits for Safer Logins
Cryptocurrencies place financial control directly in the hands of users. That means your Gemini login is more than a password — it’s the key to your assets. In this presentation we cover practical, smart habits that reduce risk at the moment you log in and every day after.
Focus on three simple things: (1) strong secrets, (2) layered defenses, and (3) predictable routines. These principles make attacks harder and mistakes more recoverable.
Use a long passphrase instead of a short password. Passphrases are easier to remember and much harder for brute-force attacks. Never reuse passwords across critical services and store them in a reputable password manager.
Two-factor authentication (2FA) is mandatory. Prefer hardware keys (FIDO2 / U2F) or an authenticator app over SMS. Enable device management and session review within Gemini to spot unfamiliar activity.
Log in from trusted devices, keep software up to date, and schedule brief security reviews monthly. Small, consistent habits prevent most opportunistic attacks.
Maintain a documented, secure recovery plan: emergency contacts, recovery phrase storage, and step-by-step account restore instructions — kept offline or inside a sealed physical envelope in a safe.
Phishing, SIM swapping, and device compromise are the top threats to logins. Use browser password managers with phishing protection, lock SIM changes with your mobile carrier, and avoid public Wi‑Fi when accessing sensitive accounts.
Build a 3-step morning check: confirm device antivirus and OS updates, review recent account activity, and check for any unexpected email alerts. Repeat a short weekly audit: rotate passphrases for critical accounts every 6-12 months and confirm 2FA devices are current.
