What are Security Settings and how to reset them

1. Security settings

1.1 Login Passwords

To effectively protect user accounts, KuCoin TR enforces strong password requirements. Your password must include an uppercase letter, a lowercase letter, a number, and be between 10 to 32 characters long.

1.2 Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is a simple and effective measure that adds an extra layer of protection. When MFA is enabled, you perform a second type of verification in addition to entering your username and password. 

KuCoin TR uses several MFA methods, including:

• • Email verification codes, 
  • Text message codes (SMS), 
  • Google Authenticator (Google 2FA). 

Additionally, our app offers biometric authentication options, such as fingerprint and facial recognition, to verify your identity quickly and securely. If the system security detects significant anomalies in the device and IP address used to log into your account, or if it deems your recent action to be of risk to your account security, email links will be used to further reinforce verification. This helps prevent account breaches from phishing attacks, telecom frauds, and various other threats.

1.3 Trading Password

Trading Password is a six-digit code set by users to verify all transactions on KuCoin TR, including spot, withdrawals and API-related actions.
