Account Security Best Practices

Protecting your Markforge account is essential for safeguarding your domain investments and personal information. This guide covers the best practices for maintaining strong account security and keeping your data safe.

Creating a Strong Password

Your password is the first line of defense for your account. A strong password significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
